Today the world will have a new champion. If I do not defeat Jeffries, then I will be very much disappointed, for I honestly think I am his superior. The time for us to shake hands cannot come too socn. I want to assure my friends that I will enter the ring fit in every way. lf they intend to wager on me they will get a good run for it.” The odds are still 10 to 7 on Jef- fries and considerable money is be- ing wagered. Bob Fitzsimmons, in speaking of tonight’s fight, said: ‘I am the logical opponent for the winner of the Jeffries-Sharkey fight. Jeffries, I think, will be the winner. What is more, I hope he will. That will give me another chance to right my- self before the public.
