From the November 1891 issue of Mitt Slingers Magazine...At Coaltown big Sandy Ferguson stopped Maine's Jim Duncan inside the distance to claim the Maritime Championship...Rising newcomer Denver Ed Martin crushed veteran Jim McCormick improving his record to 9-0-2 with 8 knockouts...The manager of Jack Root is pressuring the European Boxing Union to either force Tom Sharkey to defend his EBU title or strip him of it....James Corbett's agent in Los Angeles, on hearing that Hank Griffin's next opponent was unavailable due to injury, jumped in and proposed Griffin defend his American Boxing Association title against Corbett who was on his way back to California from Montreal...
