The handful of surviving ringside radio airchecks of championship prizefighting, including Joe Louis against Jack Sharkey from KHJ in August 1936 and the Dempsey–Tunney fight. Very little live boxing coverage from the era was recorded off the air, so this is a short shelf rather than a full run. Public-domain transfers from the Internet Archive.
