Primo Carnera had won the Heavyweight Championship only 4 months earlier {June 29, 1933},
and the Italian said he wanted to be a 'fighting' Champion, and not sit around with the Belt around
his waist for a year.

Paulino Uzcudon was a 'tough' Spanish growler who was the European Heavyweight Champion.
In 1933 > Paulino had won '6-Straight', and the 10-Year Professional was a legitimate Challenger.
