Foreman to Fight Peralta as Part of Madison Square Garden Card
George Foreman is rumored to sign to fight Gregorio Peralta on February 16 as a precursor to Joe Frazier versus Jimmy Ellis at Madison Square Garden. Teddy Brenner and promoter Dick Sadler discuss potential matchups if Foreman beats Irish Jack O Halloran, with three ten round bouts on the Monday card. O Halloran, a 6 6 heavyweight from New Jersey, has fought worldwide and could face Peralta if he wins. Donato Paduano and Pat Murphy loom as notable names on the undercard with interest from Montreal and West New York communities.
