Undefeated British featherweight prospect Richard "Tiger" Evatt, faces South African Hendrick Makolane.  Evatt was fast making  a name for himself, not just for his unique hair cut, but also because of his devastating punching power.  Makolane would be just another victim of the Tiger, getting dropped by a counter right hook and then finished off a short while later via a left hook haymaker.  Evatt would win the inaugural IBO Inter-Continental Featherweight title in his very next fight.
