Tent Boxing was banned in most parts of Australia in around 1970, although one or two troops continued in a much more regulated way, most called it quits in protest to the new regulations. In 2010, for reasons unknown to me as yet the Carnival returned to the Alice Springs Show.
Boxers of all skills ages, and Genders were invited to the beat of a drum and clang of a bell to pit themselves against the travellenig "Pros".
It was a sight to behold and an insight into times gone by.
