Neat companion pieces. Dempsey makes reference to his time in 1925 Germany and opening up at Luna Park in Berlin. He apparently had an exhibition with a then unknown 19 year old and future heavyweight champion Max Schmeling. He also mentions moving on to a July 4th charity exhibition in Brighton, England all of which have been recorded. Jimmy Deforest around the same time is putting on the Tunney-Gibbons bout at the Polo Grounds in New York. Not sure of the value but definitely authentic. Nice score!!
