Madison Square Garden will stage its first WBF title fight this friday, when Jack Dempsey will square up to Billy Baker for the inaugral WBF Middleweight title fight.

However the showcase event will be boxing's biggest event this year. John L Sullivan and England's travelling Bob Fitzsimmons will fight over 12 rounds in a WBF final eliminator for George Godfrey's Heavyweight title.

The management of MSG have made it clear that if the evening is a financial success then a monthly show from the 'Garden' could be on the cards.
