Performance NotesThis was the first time that a black boxer (Larry Gains) had been permitted to fight in the Royal Albert Hall, because of the lifting of a colour ban by the British Board of Boxing Control and the Hall itself.

In the audience were Lord Lonsdale, Lord Tweedmouth, Lord Decies and Harry Preston (Daily Telegraph, 30 January 1932)
