The winner of the main event on this card was Claudie Wilson, of Birmingham, AL. The Sydney Morning Herald (May 13, 1929, p. 16) recap of the card misidentified the winner of the bout as Charlie Wilson. Claudie Wilson, as part of the Petey Sarron entourage, was in Australia in 1929. He had a couple of losses in 15 round bouts in Melbourne and this win in Sydney. He had other bouts in Australia. His hometown newspaper, The Birmingham News (Birmingham, AL, 7-23-29, p. 14) had this to say: "Claudie Wilson is a sensation in Australia" and went on to recount his ring experiences there, particularly referencing this win, perhaps not completely accurately, though.
