Unknown user says
The location for the bout was the Sydney Sports Ground.
The referee seen here is Dick Cameron, himself a professional wrestler.
Note that although the clip is dated 1939 the bout featured here took place in mid-December 1938, as confirmed by this original news story of the era.......
