Performance NotesWorld Bantamweight Title (Billed for the British version of World Bantamweight title (118lbs)): Archie Bell lost to Teddy Baldock,
"Three months before, Charley "Phil" Rosenberg had forfeited the Undisputed World Title by appearing in a title bout overweight. By virtue of this bout with Bell, Baldock was declared the World Champ by the British boxing authorities. (Bell would later face Pete Sanstol for another version of the bantam crown.)"
