I'd not be so quick to jump to the conclusion that Boxrec is right and the promoter is wrong. One of my cousins kept a scrapbook of all his newspaper reports and a handwritten list of his fights. Boxrec isn't even close, though it has been getting better. In fact, his daughter asked me to get them to fix one glaring mistake where they'd combined his record with another fighter's record. They did clean it up but only after I contacted them.

BTW, it is very, very cool to ID this boxer--the odds of identifying a fighter on an anonymous prewar PC are not great. Then again, I couldn't even ID Stan Ketchel...
