Nabokov’s text on the Breitenstaedter-Paolino fight that took place in the Berlin Sportpalast on December 1, 1925 is not “a rare story” but a talk, and it had not to be “unearthed” but simply translated into English. It has been published in Russian in the journal ‘Slovo’, Riga, December 28+29, 1925; in vol. 1 of the Simposium edition, St. Petersburg 1999, p.749-754; and in German in ‘Eigensinnige Ansichten’, Reinbek 2004, p.203-211.

Excerpts: The Times Literary Supplement has unearthed a rare story by Vladimir Nabokov, the author of "Lolita," "Pale Fire" and other poetic classics. Titled "Breitensträter Paolino," the story has never been published in English before.[ ]This newly uncovered story, "Breitensträter Paolino," was translated from Russian to English by Anastasia Tolstoy ...and Thomas Karshan.
The topic is a heavyweight boxing match that took place in Berlin in 1925....
The Times Literary Supplement writes:
Of all the sports Nabokov could have chosen to focus on, he took in boxing the one that concentrates as no other the pain and violence he always saw in play. But BreitensträterPaolino is a very literary and verbal account of boxing [...] this is not the only posthumous Nabokov translation or publication. In 2009, the author's incomplete work, "The Original of Laura," was published in spite of his request that the manuscript be burned[ ] Here is a taste of "BreitensträterPaolino"..."Man has played as long as he has existed. There are ages holidays of humanity when man is especially impassioned by games. So it was in bygone Greece, in bygone Rome, and so it is in our own Europe of today..."
