- Location: Chicago Stadium, Chicago, Illinois, USA
- Referee: Eddie Purdy
"Primo Carnera today had his second victory over King Levinsky, but the cheers were still ringing for the Kingfish. The Italian giant, noticeably improved as a boxer, poked and clubbed out a 10 round decision over the pride of Chicago's ghetto last night in Chicago Stadium, his second in a little more than a year, but as on the former occasion, Levinsky won the hearts of the customers. Levinsky made a desperate effort to accomplish a knockout, and in the middle of the 1st round had the crowd in an uproar as he suddenly lashed out with his roundhouse right swing, and planted it on Carnera's chin. Primo did a half-squat, but the King failed to follow up and his chance faded." -Associated Press
