'The World Boxing Association told its four top-rated heavyweight contenders today to get ready to fight for the 'vacant world championship', stripped from Cassius Clay.
President Merv L McKenzie of the WBA sent the 'get ready' telegrams to Ernie Terrell of Chicago, Cleveland Williams of Houston, ex-champion Floyd Patterson of Scarsdale, N.Y and Doug Jones of New York. The Clay-Liston return title fight was banned by the WBA convention because Clay had signed what was tantamount to a forbidden return bout contract in case of victory before his first fight with Liston at Miami Beach, Feb 25.' http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...ociation&hl=en |
