Gene Tunney

Broadcast: June 9, 1956
Added: Jun 05 2021

Jimmy Powers again takes up the narrative from the Grantland Rice story, The Tumult and the Shouting. Last time, we took Gene Tunney straight from a bookkeepers job in downtown New York to the heavyweight championship of the world. Today, we take a second look at Tunney - the Tunney of the celebrated long count fight at Chicago in 1927.
