On March 25, 1928, Tom Heeney of New Zealand faced Jack Delaney, the former Light Heavyweight Champion, in Boston, Massachusetts. This 10-round heavyweight contest was seen as a crucial test for Heeney, who was aiming for a world title shot.
Despite being the underdog, Heeney outworked Delaney, who was making a comeback after a year-long layoff and appeared to be out of shape. Heeney’s aggressive and relentless approach overwhelmed Delaney, leading to a clear decision win in front of a 15,000-strong crowd at the Boston Garden.
Following this victory, Heeney would go on to challenge Gene Tunney for the World Heavyweight Championship later that year.
