    April 10th. 1948.

    Dave Sands W/P 12 Don Mullett. Petone New Zealand.

    Dave Sands again tackled the Kiwi in December of 1950 in Wellington. Mullett, a pretty capable fighter, took Sands the 12 round journey again. Unfortunately, it was a thrid match with Mullett at Leichardt Stadium that Sands and Co. were heading off to training camp for when the tragic accident took his life.
