February 19 - [Thuriya] A large fair will take place in Thaton from February 27 to March 1 near the city square. A variety of food and animal exhibitions will be presented alongside various sporting activities including boxing.

February 27 - [Myanma Alinn] Report on a Sule Pagoda festival, celebrating its renovation with new gold leaves. Among other activities, it says that from February 28 to March 2 well known boxers will participate in charity boxing matches from 10am to 4pm. The article does not clarify which type of boxing it is.

December 16 - [New Burma (English)] An article announces the Rangoon Amusement Park 'wonder show' organised by one Mr. J. Napheit. It is held at the corner of York and Sandwith road (about 200 meters south-west of Aung San Stadium currently) from December 15, 1931 to January 24, 1932.

The Burmese boxing tournament will be under the supervision of U Ba Dunn and U Thein Maung. It will be held on December 20, 24, 25, 27 and January 1. Only the first and second class boxers have been brought over, among them:

• Kular Pyan, College Sein, Paw Sa, Pyi Taw Pyan, Lay Yin Pyan, Ba Aye, Aye Khin, Aye Wan, Thar Chaw, Phyu Kalay, Win Yaw Sein, Sein Myaing, Sein Dway, Sein Kalay and others.

December 23 - [Mandalay Thuriya] A single page covers an event at the fairgrounds between Sandwith road and York road, situated between Pagoda Road Station and Kun Chan Station on either side. Kun Chan Station was later destroyed in the war by retreating British and Burmese forces implementing a scorched earth policy.

The event is under the supervision of secretary of the Burma Legislative Council U Ba Dunn and Bar-at-law U Thein Maung (Ohn Khaing). A large list of participating boxers is given alongside results for December 19 & 20.

The list of participants:

• Paung Phyu, Aye Kyin, Sein Nu, Luu Wu, Lan Char Bo, Katon Byu, Shwe Kuyin, Tayote Pyan, La Yaung, Shwe Samaing, Pauk Kyaw, Shwe Kyi Nyo, Aye Wan, Bo Kalay, Shwe Laung Pyan, Win Yaw Sein, Chit Phyu, Hla Mway, Boe Yone, Aung Thein, Pu Lay, Ohn Maung, Sein Dway, Shwe Hlan Bo, Punnar Pyan, Paw Sa, College, A Luu Paw, Ba Aye, Hla Kalay, Phyu Kalay, Lay Yin Pyan, Pyi Taw Pyan, Paw Sa (2), College Sein, Kular Pyan, Thar Chaw, Aye Wan (2), Aye Khin, Ba Aye (2), Sein Kalay, Sein Sway, Sein Myaing.

• Sein Chit def. Ohn Kho

• Sein Dway vs. Sein Bu ended in a tie

• Chit Phyu def. Tayote Pyan

• Shwe Laung Pyan vs. Hla Kalay ended in a tie

The result for the Kular Pyan vs. Pauk Kyaw match was initially erroneous. It was corrected a day later in the December 24 issue. The result above has already been corrected to avoid further confusion.

December 24 - [Mandalay Thuriya] A small article announces that Minister of Justice U Ba's tournament will take place on December 24, 25, 27 and on January 1. It also mentions the result of the Kular Pyan vs. Pauk Kyaw match yesterday was wrong and that Kular Pyan had actually won the fight instead.

December 25 - [Mandalay Thuriya] Another small article mentions that fights are starting today and that the ticket prices are only 8 pe, one or two Kyats. proceeds from the events will be donated to Rangoon Myoma National High School at 25 Kyats per person.

December 26 - [Mandalay Thuriya] The event at Sandwith and York continued on December 24. In-depth results are given for 10 matches that day. Special attention is given to a fight between Kular Pyan and Lay Yin Pyan, a match brought to life by the spectators' desire to see them fight. U Tun Yin announced mid-fight he would award the winner 25 Kyats after 3 rounds of fighting. A faded and unclear photograph is shown of the two in action.

After that particular fight a fire broke out attributed to "worthless scoundrels" messing around near the entrance. The fire was put out swiftly with the help of Rangoon Corporation clerk Maung Tun Sein, who had to be treated by the ringside doctor for mild injuries. It is not entirely clear in which class each match is fought. The results are as follows:

First class: 

• Shwe Kyi Nyo vs. Aye Khin ended in a tie

• Pyi Taw Pyan def. Paw Sa (conceded due to audience dissatisfaction)

• Kular Pyan vs. Lay Yin Pyan ended in a tie

Second class: 

• Boe Yone vs. Sein Nu ended in a tie

• Aung Sein (Ah Kaw) def. Punnar Pyan in round 3 (cut)

• Shwe Laung Pyan def. Paung Phyu (cut on left eyebrow)

• Pu Lay vs. Pauk Kyaw (The younger) ended in a tie

• Sein Dway def. Aye Kyin (hand injury)

• Punnar vs. Shwe Hlan Bo ended in a tie

• Sein Chit def. Lan Char Bo in round 3 (swollen eye)

Shwe Kyi Nyo was brought along by Pauk Kyaw (The elder). The paper reports this was his first fight. Pyi Taw Pyan and Paw Sa were immensely experienced and fought cautiously and effectively. The audience however had a thirst for blood and were calling the fight fraudulent. Due to embarrassment Paw Sa eventually conceded. The referees during the event were Kyin Yone and San Lay To.

The matches announced for December 25:

First class: 

• Sein Let Thee vs. Ba Aye

• College vs. La Yaung

• Kular Pyan vs. Lay Yin Pyan

Second class: 

• Hla Hmway vs. Aye Wan

• Sein Kalay vs. Bo Kalay

• Chit Phyu vs. Hla Kalay

December 28 - [Mandalay Thuriya] The event at Sandwith and York continued on December 25. Today's article is topped by a photograph which shows first class boxers Pyi Taw Pyan, La Yaung, Kular Pyan & Ba Aye, who will be competing for Chief Justice U Ba's Cup on Sunday (December 27). In total 10 matches were fought of which 4 were intermediary:

First class: 

• Ba Aye def. Sein Let Thee in round 4 (cut)

• La Yaung def. College in round 3 (conceded)

• Kular Pyan def. Lay Yin Pyan in round 3 (hand injury)

Second class:

Intermediary: 

• Pauk Kyaw def. Shwe Kayin

• Aye Wan (2) def. Punnar (conceded)

• Paw Sa def. Aye Khin in round 2

• Lone Paw vs. Sein Chit ended in a tie

After his fight, Paw Sa challenged Kular Pyan for a match after the championship. Similarly La Yaung also expressed his desire to fight Kular Pyan after his win against College. The reporter notes that today Kular Pyan was still favouring an arm injury from the day before.

The matches announced for December 27:

First class: 

• Kular Pyan vs. Ba Aye

• La Yaung vs. Pyi Taw Pyan

Second class: 

• Sein Lay vs. Aye Wan

• Pauk Kyaw (2) vs. Sein Dway

• Shwe Laung Pyan vs. Chit Phyu

The second page has two more photographs; one with two face-offs between Sein Kalay and Aye Wan, and Chit Phyu and Shwe Laung Pyan. The other shows Paw Sa and Kular Pyan. The caption tells us they will fight after the competition.

December 29 - [Mandalay Thuriya] The event at Sandwith and York continued on December 27. It is noted that contenders for the cup in first class were cautious and tactical in their approach, resulting in less exciting matches. The author remarks that the audience, unfortunately, does not have the empathy to understand this. In total 9 matches took place, in which the audience preferred the second class boxers for their unpredictable and wild encounters.

A large part of the article delves into the discussion of whether Kular Pyan should fight the winner of this years cup. It was learned that the organisers had planned for him to fight the winner (likely a desire from the audience), since he had not advanced in the tournament due to his injured left hand. The author argues that this would tarnish the prestige of the grand trophy awarded by Minister U Ba, and that Kular Pyan should take time to recover and fight someone else before moving on to the champion. Organisers should try to stick to their plans and he praises U Tun Yin for managing to handle these sometimes absurd demands from the audience. The results for that day were as follows:

First class: 

• Ba Aye def. Kular Pyan (hand injury)

• Pyi Taw Pyan def. La Yaung (hand injury)

Second class: 

• Sein Kalay def. Aye Wan

• Sein Dway def. Pauk Kyaw (2)

• Chit Phyu def. Shwe Laung Pyan

Intermediary: 

• Hla Hmway vs. Pauk Kyaw (1) ended in a tie

• Boe Yone def. Katon Byu

• Sein Chit vs. Sein Pu ended in a tie

• Bo Kalay def. Ohn Kho

The finals for January 1, which will be attended by Minister U Ba:

First class: 

• Ba Aye vs. Pyi Taw Pyan

Second class: 

• Sein Kalay, Sein Dway & Chit Phyu

December 31 - [Mandalay Thuriya] Today's feature focuses on a separate fixture for a Burmese boxing event held to fund the growth of Rangoon Myoma National High School at the Sandwith and York Rd. fairgrounds (Down the road from Jubilee Hall, now called Yaw Min Gyi Street), led and opened by U Thein Maung (Oane Khine) and U Ba Dunn. It specifically says U Ba’s Cup will not be contested for. The article is accompanied by an image of boxers performing a traditional Don Yein dance. 

Kular Pyan had previously suffered a fracture and it is unsure whether he can compete. If he is able, his opponent will be Shwe Kyi Nyo’s elder brother Shwe Kha Maing. If he is unable Shwe Kha Maing will be fighting with Lay Yin Pyan. The remaining matches are:

Special Boxing Fight Series

1. Yar Phyat vs. Bo Yone

2. Hla Hmway vs. Aye Wan (2)

3. Aye Wan (1) vs. Pauk Kyaw (1)

4. Mawlamyine Punnar vs. Pauk Kyaw (2)

5. Shwe Kyi Nyo vs. Sein Hlan Bo

6. Hla Kalay vs. Bo Kalay

7. Sein Chit vs. Aung Sein

8. Sein Lat Thee vs. Aye Khin

Although not mentioned in this article, this event took place on December 30. Coverage for this likely appears in Mandalay Thuriya on January 3. This was missing from the source we obtained.

January 2 - [Mandalay Thuriya] This articles announces that the event at Sandwith and York will continue today (January 1) with the finals and 6 other planned matches:

First class: 

• Ba Aye vs. Pyi Taw Pyan

Second class: 

• Sein Kalay vs. Sein Dway (Chit Phyu is reserve, since Sein Kalay is sick)

Intermediary: 

• Po Lo vs. Sein Pu

• Sein Hlan Bo, Aye Wan (2) and Pauk Kyaw (2) (Whoever the audience likes best)

• Shwe Kyi Nyo vs. Aye Wan (1)

• Shwe Kha Maing vs. Aye Khin

• Boe Yone vs. Yar Phyat

• Paw Sa vs. Lay Yin Pyan (Special fight)

Karen boxers will demonstrate Don Yein during intermission.

January 4 - [Mandalay Thuriya] The event at Sandwith and York concluded on January 1. Minister U Ba arrived at 2pm and enjoyed the matches with great satisfaction. The matches of Boe Yone vs. Yar Phyat and Rangoon Po Lo vs. Thaton Sein Pu were crowd favourites. The author notes that while Yar Phyat seems to be the same age as Boe Yone, the latter was younger and more agile, and has a great future ahead of him as a rising star.

Pyi Taw Pyan faced Ba Aye for the trophy. But it may be said his opponents always had the upper hand, yet had to give up or concede due to injuries or audience dissatisfaction. This was no different when facing Ba Aye, he too gave up because of a hand injury. 

Sein Dway vs. Chit Phyu lasted five rounds as they were evenly matched. After Sein Dway emerged victorious he exclaimed "A punch from the left, shatters a water pot; a punch from the right, will break every rib", "I am Sein Dway, the one who conquered the mountains of Mottama", "Taste my flying left knee and fall unconscious", "I am Sein Dway, who wastes no breath boasting to impress women!"

First class: 

• Pyi Taw Pyan def. Ba Aye in round 2 (hand injury)

Second class: 

• Sein Dway def. Chit Phyu in round 5 (ko)

Intermediary: 

• Boe Yone vs. Yar Phyat ended in a tie

• Rangoon Po Lo vs. Thaton Sein Pu ended in a tie

• Paw Sa def. Lay Yin Pyan for a 10 Kyats wager (gave up)

• Pauk Kyaw (2) def. Aye Wan

• Aye Khin def. Shwe Kha Maing (gave up)

• Aye Khin def. Shwe Kyi Nyo in round 1 (eye injury)

Although Kular Pyan could not compete, he attended proudly wearing all his medals. Those who came in second place received a silver medal from Minister U Ba. The winners received a cup and a gold medal.

December 20 - [Thuriya] The first mention is made of the upcoming event at Hare Krishna Pilay Hall on the corner of Montgomery Street and Stockade Road in Rangoon, at the behest of boxing enthusiasts U Thein Maung and U Tun Yin, Chairman of the Myanmar Bus Development Association. It mentions Bala Sein as a well-known boxer who is participating in the event under the auspices of Minister of Home Affairs U Ba.

(Montgomerie and Stockade was where now Bogyoke Road and Thein Phyu Road meet around 45th street.)

December 22 - [Thuriya] With the upcoming event at Hare Krishna Palay Hall on Saturday and Sunday (December 24, 25), a letter is featured from a Burmese boxing fan. They explain the difference between English- and Burmese boxing and wish that it would get an equal amount of support as the other boxing systems around the world by way of giving awards and trophies. The author is concerned that otherwise Burmese boxing would slowly vanish and we won't be seeing the bravery of the Myanmar people anymore. The newspaper editor adds that they hope for and believe in the reformation of the Burmese boxing system, starting with the upcoming event.

December 23 - [Thuriya] A similar theme to yesterday's issue of Thuriya. The somewhat messy structure of the article makes it unclear on who is suggesting these points. The suggestions given by this author are reproduced in full:

"I think it would be nice to consider these facts before 10 AM on the day of the Myanmar Boxing Match. As stated in Thursday’s issue of the Thuriya Newspaper, I would like to humbly request all Myanmar Boxing enthusiasts to consider, prepare and manage these points as much as possible;

1. It is a well-known fact that Myanmar Boxers have an indomitable spirit when boxing. They do not care whether their opponent is bigger or smaller than them. They will not evade a challenge and will start to fight with an attitude. This type of attitude and behaviour must not be permitted.

2. The judges and referees should discuss properly and must be the ones deciding which pairs should fight against each other and which pairs should not.

3. Must not allow random people to speak and voice out during the matches.

4. Only the 5 or 6 people who are supported by the audience should choose and request which pairs they want to see fighting.

5. If one suspects the pair fighting is cheating or the match is a fraud, the elected 5 or 6 people from the audience, and the judges should decide fairly and deny the fighters the prizes they could have gotten.

Should there be flaws in the suggestions stated above, do feel free to point them out and amend them."

A second article with a separate title announced the boxing event organised by Minister of Home Affairs U Ba. It says that the matches will happen at Hare Krishna Palay Hall at noon this Saturday and Sunday. It then lists all the boxers competing (note for future results that Bala Sein, Ba Sein and B.A. Sein are different boxers and not misspellings):

Bala Sein, Paw Sa, Doe Phyu Kalay, Min Gaung, Phyu Kalay, Kyar Aye Sein, Aung Zeya, Moe Pyan, Pauk Kyaw, Boe Tol, Sein Dway, Ba Sein, Boe Yone, Aye Sein, Sein Kalay, Tun Wai, Yar Phyat, Pauk Kyaw, Bo Kalay, Sein Chit, Win Yaw Sein, Sein Myaing, Thar Chaw, Pyi Taw Pyan, B. A. Sein, Yar Kyaw, Pyi Thein, Chit Phyu, Saung Taw Kuu, Aung Ba La, Bo Kay Sein, Sein Kalay, Motor Car, Htway Sein, A Din, Pyit Taing Htaung, Aye Wan, Hla Kalay, Aung Sein, Hla Hmway.

The article is then signed by U Thein Maung.

December 24 - [Thuriya] By far the most satisfying articles are featured in this issue. Two photographs are shown. One with all first class boxers who will compete starting from today (currently set as header to this page), and another with all second and third class boxers who will compete. Only the ones in first class are named; From Left to Right (Those Sitting) – Phyu Lay, Bala Sein, Pyi Taw Pyan and Paw Sa, (Those Standing) – Doe Phyu Kalay, Kyar Aye Sein, Yin Lone and Phyu Lay Pyan. It then says that "Unlike the usual boxing matches, in this event, boxers would have to box on the stage and the audience would be able to view from the front while sitting in chairs. As the stadium is huge, the viewers do not have to jostle or push around to view the matches." The boxers who have arrived in Rangoon so far are divided into these three classes:

• First class: Bala Sein, Phyu Lay Gyi, Kyar Aye Sein, Paw Sa, Pyi Taw Pyan, Yin Lone, Doe Phyu Kalay, and Phyu Lay Pyan.

• Second class: Sein Dway, Chit Phyu, Aye Wan, Kyin Yone, Sein Ba, Hla Mway, Pauk Kyaw, Kyar Kalay, Sein Nu, Yar Kyaw, and Kyaw Nu.

• Third class: Boe To, Boe Yone, Moe Hmyaw, Yin Kalay, Ah Htway, Ohn Maung, Tun Bhay, and Boe Thar.

A second article features a column written by (M) Boe Chain, author of "Reforming the Myanmar Boxing System." He brings forth the following advice for the upcoming events:

1. Continuous rounds as a single match.

2. No resting after each round (intermediate fight or "flag fight") or using the "break when tired" method. The round time will be limited to a few minutes.

3. Another match will only begin when the first one has finished after 3 or 4 rounds.

4. Prayers, blessings, talismans and amulet preparation, reciting mantras, drinking potions, massages and rest are only to be done in between matches.

5. Rounds could be limited to 2 minutes with 2 minutes of rest in between. This is based on a funny calculation by the author: "As 2 minutes contain 120 seconds and if there is a punch every second, there will be a total of 120 punches. 120 is quite a lot. Going by the techniques used by the Myanmar boxers, they usually run around. So out of the 120 punches, if they land with 10 good punches in main areas, the other might even get knocked out."

6. Buying time or delaying match progress should be prohibited.

December 26 - [Thuriya] Today's feature has a photograph featuring last years champions defending their honour in this years contest for Home Affairs Minister U Ba's cup and medals. They are first class champion Pyi Taw Pyan and second class champion Sein Dway. The fights today are held at Hare Krishna Palay Hall. U Ba himself and Municipal Mayor U Satt joined other local dignitaries to watch the matches.

The article says that on Saturday December 24 five fights ended in KO, and 4 of them ended in a tie. It lists Pyi Taw Pyan and Phyu Lay (I assume it is Phyu Lay Gyi) specifically and also mentions they will rematch in the near future:

First class: 

• Pyi Taw Pyan defeated Phyu Lay in round 2 (due to a cut)

It goes on to mention that each day has 7 matches and extra fights may happen only when those 7 have concluded and time is left. There will be no fights today (Monday). It then describes and lists the results of the fights that were previously held (It does not specify whether it's Saturday, Sunday or a combination thereof, though I suspect it's Sunday December 25). No classes are mentioned except for first class:

First class: 

• Doe Phyu Kalay defeated Aung Mingalar in round 3

• Paw Sa vs. Bala Sein (Draw)

• Kyar Aye Sein vs. Aung Maung (both awarded first prize after Aung Maung's face got scratched in round 1)

Remaining matches:

• Boe Yone vs. Tun Way (Draw)

• Sein Dway vs. Moe Hmyaw (3rd class) (Draw)

• Aye Wan vs. Boe Thar (Draw)

• Thu Ye defeated Shwe Lu in round 1

December 27 - [Thuriya] A small article only gives the matches for today and tomorrow.

Today (Tuesday)

First class: 

• Pyi Taw Pyan vs. Doe Phyu Kalay

• Phyu Kalay Pyan vs. Phyu Lay Gyi

Second class: 

• Sein Dway vs. Pauk Kyaw

• Yar Kyaw vs. Hla Hmway

Third class:

• Bo Yone vs. Boe Tol

Tomorrow (Wednesday)

First class: 

• Bala Sein vs. Kyar Aye Sein

• Paw Sa vs. Aung Maung

Second class: 

• Chit Phyu vs. Kyar

• Ba Sein vs. Aye Wann

Third class:

• Moe Hmyaw vs. Htway Sein

December 28 - [New Burma (English)] Results from last Saturday, December 24, are given. It says the preliminaries for the tournament have started and that the hall was packed with fans who cheered loudly for a sport seemingly as popular as football.

First class: 

• Pyi Taw Pyan def. Phyu Lay Gyi in round 2 (cut eye) (fight of the night)

• Kyar Aye Sein vs. Phyu Lay Pyan ended in a tie after 4 rounds

December 28 - [Thuriya] The news starts off mentioning that Minister of Home Affairs U Ba and administrators of these Burmese Boxing events U Thein Maung (Ohn Khaing) and U Tun Yin attended the matches. Wun Htauk Minister U Ba Yee was there to award a 10 Kyats prize to Kyar Aye Sein for defeating Paw Sa. Matches yesterday were part of the tournament to win U Ba's cup and medal. It says that those fights were the first of its kind, which makes me wonder how much different it is to last years Cup and medal winning matches (see December 26). It seems that even at full time, most boxers admitted defeat if their opponent was too powerful.

Before announcing the results, it lists the matches for today:

First class: 

• • Bala Sein vs. Yin Lone

Second class: 

• Yar Kyaw vs. Hla Hmway

• Ba Sein vs. Aye Wan

Third class:

• Moe Hmyaw vs. Htway Sein

Potential challenge match:

• Pyi Taw Pyan vs. Kyar Aye Sein

The reason for the challenge match was the fact that Pyi Taw Pyan was angry with Kyar Aye Sein and the way he won his match (Striking his downed opponents forehead with an elbow while the referee was stepping in to pull them apart). Pyi Taw Pyan stormed into the ring to challenge him, a person he disliked even before all of this took place, to a fight until death without referees.

The results for yesterdays matches:

First class:

• Pyi Taw Pyan defeated Doe Phyu Kalay (gave up)

• Phyu Lay Gyi defeated Phyu Kalay Pyan in round 2

• Kyar Aye Sein defeated Paw Sa in round 2

Second class:

• Chit Phyu defeated Kyar

• Sein Dway defeated Pauk Kyaw in round 4

Third class:

• Boe Yone defeated Boe Toe in round 4

Kyar Sai (Intermediate match):

• Aung Zayar vs. Yin Kalay (Draw)

December 29 - [Thuriya] A lengthy tribute to Pyi Taw Pyan and hilarious description of his fight with Kyar Aye Sein. The feature is topped by two photographs. Yin Lone is pictured with the subtitle telling us he lost to Bala Sein. Phyu Lay Pyan is also pictured, and the subtitle tells us he lost to Phyu Lay Gyi. Before announcing the results from yesterday, it mentions that there are no fights today or on Friday. They will continue on Saturday and Sunday.

Second class: 

• Yar Kyaw defeated Hla Hmway in round 3

December 30 - [Thuriya] The article today explains that due to it's limited capacity, the Hare Krishna Pilay Hall will no longer be used. Instead, the final two days will be held at the Jubilee Hall on December 31 and January 1. It then lists the Championship matches for Saturday:

First class: 

• • Bala Sein vs. Kyar Aye Sein

  • Pyi Taw Pyan vs. Phyu Kalay Gyi

Second class: 

• Sein Dway vs. Chit Phyu

• Yar Kyaw vs. Aye Wan

Third class: 

• Boe Yone vs. Htwe Sein

Eventual champions will be given awards by Home Affairs Minister, His Excellency (U Ba) himself.

December 31 - [Thuriya] Five quality photographs are printed in today's paper. Phyu Lay Gyi and (1931 champion) Pyi Taw Pyan, (1931 champion) Sein Dway and Chit Phyu & Bala Sein. The article repeats that the event has moved to the bigger Jubilee Hall due to limited capacity at the previous venue on the corner of Montgomerie and Stockade. The semi-final matches are also reprinted (see December 30).

January 3 - [Thuriya] Via Thein Maung. An article that highlights that Bala Sein has won a gold medal this past Sunday (January 1) at Rangoon Jubilee Hall and that Minister of Home Affairs U Ba presented the prizes himself. It is accompanied by an image showing 1932 champion Bala Sein and 1932 second-class champion Chit Phyu. The paragraph following the image only explains the willingness of U Thein Maung (Oane Khine) to prevent Burmese boxing from disappearing into obscurity by inviting famous boxers to compete at his events.

Only a section of the article was shared and discussed, results were omitted.

January 18 - [New Burma (English) - boxing] An Army & Police Boxing Tournament is announced in which the Navy will also take part. It will be held on January 20 and January 21 at Jubilee Hall.

Previously U Thein Maung shared another incomplete image on Facebook from the Thuriya newspaper. Although undated, the image showed an Army, Navy & Police tournament's trophy display. The accompanying comments describe a tournament at Jubilee Hall for western boxing in which "champion" Bala Sein and Phyu Lay fought a Burmese boxing match. In this re-match however Bala Sein lost.

January 26 - [Myanma Alinn] The results for an event at King Carnival Stadium along Dalhousie Street in Rangoon on January 25 are presented in full detail. The headline underscores that Pyi Taw Pyan and Kyar Aye Sein wish to face famous English boxers George Goudie and Kid D'Silva respectively. It also mentions Bala Sein attending, but it does not make clear if he competed. 

The rounds for the Burmese boxing matches were 5 minutes, so many boxers complained that 3 minutes would be better. Results from the event are as follows:

First class: 

• Pyi Taw Pyan defeated B.A. Sein in round 4

Second class: 

• Kyin Yon defeated Chit Phyu in round 1 (injury)

• Sein Dway vs. Aye Wan (Draw)

Remaining matches:

• Pauk Kyaw defeated Motor Car in round 3

• Boe Yone vs. Pa Thee (Draw)

• Htwe Sein vs. Ohn Cho (Draw)

April - [Myanma Alinn - art] In a special Thingyan issue the art of Maung Hla is printed, dated 1932. Presumably it shows two men at the conclusion of an altercation. One of them has balled fists, while the other lay unconscious. The subtitle describes aptitude / physical ability (martial prowess).

April 20 - [Singapore Free Press] A small article tells of an event at King Carnival Stadium in Rangoon hosting both English and Burmese boxing. Only English boxing is discussed, the main attraction being Kid D'Silva vs. Battling Guillermo.

Organizing this event are U Soe Nyunt, U Pan Nwae and U Thar Tun Zan.

April 6 - [Thuriya] The Shwe Maw Daw Pagoda Festival will take place from April 14 to April 19 and will feature Burmese boxing matches.

The article starts off mentioning the enthusiastic Hsaing-circle drummer who's chants of "Yauk-kyar, yauk-kyar!" gave the audience a great laugh (The chant translates to "get him, man!"). The boxers here will compete for a gold medal. A tied game will earn 1 point whereas a winning game will earn 2 points in a contest that will last a maximum of 4 rounds. No further details on the set-up of this "tournament" are given.
