THE NEW YORK TIMES, November 15, 1947 

* Jake LaMotta vs. Billy Fox 
* Fixed boxing match - Mafia
 
* 'Raging Bull' fame 

The sport's section (page 12) has a banner headline: "Fox Knocks Out LaMotta in Fourth Round Before Crowd of 18,340 at Garden" with subheads that include: "NEW YORK VETERAN STOPPED FIRST TIME" and more with a nice three column action photo. (see) First report coverage on the infamous fixed fight influenced by the Mob. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete with 30 pages, rag edition, some light staining, otherwise nice.
