• Referee: Jack Hart

"Larry Gains, Toronto Negro who holds the British Empire heavyweight title and who last night overwhelmed Primo Carnera, declared today he hoped to get a bout soon with either Jack Sharkey or Max Schmeling. Gains got the decision over Carnera after ten rounds of fast work which left the Italian puzzled. In the 10th fans howled as Gains chased the giant around the ring. Carnera was at a loss after his blows failed to stop Gains, who wove in and out about Carnera's guard, hitting almost at will. Gains was fast and he hit hard. In the 2nd and 6th rounds in particular Gains' blows were unusually effective and would have knocked out many a fighter of less size than Carnera. Lefts and right to the jaw were fast and frequent, and the great Italian rocked under them." -International News Service
