Photograph dated March 17, 1964. Article from March 17, 1964 partially reads, "Valley mitt fans have a chance to cheer for one of their own tonight when Van Nuys' Ronnie Redelsperger, promising and rugged welterweight, takes on the classy Tony Noriega of Bakersfield in the 10-round main event at Valley Garden Arena. This is the third professional card under the promotion of the Los Angeles Boxing Club (Mickey Davis and George Parnassus) and it appears to be the best."
