	Fox would be knocked out in the 3rd round by John Henry Lewis, but Morse didn't give up on Fox and tried to find him another break throughout 1936.

	Morse would not promote for the remainder of 1937; Fox was the only main event fighter that Morse had. Morse would resume promoting upon Fox's return to Spokane in January 1938.
