This is an aircheck of the Joe Louis - Jack Sharkey boxing match of August 18, 1936. It was recorded from station KHJ. This was the first fight Louis had after being knocked out by Max Schmeling in June 1936. He would defeat Schmeling in 1938. Sharkey was hoping to keep his boxing career going in this match, but retired after losing to Louis. * * * These recordings are part of the Joe Hehn Memorial Collection. Mr. Hehn (1931-2020) was a pioneering collector of radio recordings when the hobby emerged in the 1960s. Digitizing his collection of reel tapes and discs is the effort of a wide range of North American volunteers, and includes assistance of some international collectors. The groups supporting this effort with their funds, time, technology and skills are the Old Time Radio Researchers and a small group of transcription disc preservationists who refer to themselves as the "The Knights of the Turning Table."

From the Joe Hehn Memorial Collection, at the Internet Archive.

Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is.
