On January 25, 1923, Farmer Peters beat Jack Ross in Tampa, winning "two quick falls." Peters was from the Tampa area. A few weeks later, Peters was defeated by Joe Naser of Miami. They were middleweights. The Miami Herald on Wednesday, August 15, 1934 reported that Babe Caddock was "recognized as the Florida Heavyweight champion last week by the Tampa Boxing-Wrestling Commission." Also that Caddock "defeated Hans Stronberg, husky German, to earn the Tampa recognition. He is popular throughout the state and his clean cut methods despite the rough tactics of his opponents have won him a large following." NWA Member: C.P.
