Performance NotesJoe Bloomfield beat Arthur Heke fight -
'...in the second round Heke was knocked out by a right to the jaw and fell so heavily that he had to be carried out of the ring and thence to hospital. Heke's head had struck the floor of the ring heavily and he was plainly suffering from severe concussion. It came as a great relief to earn about midnight that he had regained consciousness'

"BOXING AT ALBERT HALL.
BROWN AND LEWIS MATCH.
It is no exaggeration to state that the Royal Albert Hall is one of the most fashionable buildings in Great Britain for deciding important boxing matches. The very atmosphere of the famous hall lends itself to distinction for staging important sporting events, and at no place, except perhaps Olympia, will you see such a gathering."
(The Daily Telegraph, 30 June 1924)
