Performance NotesThis was Fred Webster's professional debut.

Nicholas Petit Biquet won against. Bert Kirby, 'Kirby had to concede well over half a stone. Even at that we were unable to agree with the referee when he announced that the Belgian was the winner. According to our reckoning the little Brum had a clear lead on points' (Western Daily Press, Friday 26 October 1928)
