SCHMELING TO FIGHT STEVE DUDES

Ben Foord is to Battle Walter Neusel

Hamburg, Feb. 15.

Max Schmeling, leading contender for the world heavyweight boxing title, will fight the American Steve Dudas in the Hanseatic Hall here on April 16, it was learnt by Transocean to-day.

The programme also includes a bout between Ben Foord, the South African heavyweight who was recently defeated by Schmeling, and Walter Neusel.

The fight between Schmeling and Dudas was to have taken place at Miami but promoter Joseph Jacobs succeeded in persuading Dudas to meet Schmeling here, so that Schmeling will not travel to the United States—Trans Ocean.
