Special to Ring Magazine:

The Army has no heavyweight champion.

Corporal Levi Jackson, Junior, is dead.

The man who battered his way to the heavyweight championship of the Army last February laid down his life in the finest possible way - for his comrades.

It is typical to the big good-natured Afro-American that he did not bear arms - he was a medic. His death came while shielding two comrades ...

Having known him I can only add - Soldier, Sportsman, Gentleman.
