The quarterfinals of The Roaring Twenties Heavyweight Extravaganza will take place at Sesquicentennial Stadium in Philadelphia, site of the first Dempsey-Tunney fight, over a single weekend.
Friday's card features fourth-seeded Max Schmeling against No. 5 Harry Wills, with No. 2 Gene Tunney facing No. 7 Billy Miske in the main event.
On Saturday, No. 19 Jack Johnson tries to continue his remarkable tournament run against No. 11 George Godfrey, with top seed Jack Dempsey squaring off with No. 9 Jack Sharkey.
A crowd of 126,000 attended Dempsey-Tunney, and promoters are ready for equally large crowds for the two-night stand.
