Boxing Commission Prepares to Strip Canzoneri of Title
New York Boxing Commission ready to suspend Tony Canzoneri if he skips a title bout with Lou Ambers on August 6 at Long Island Bowl. Promoter Babe Culnan says Canzoneri signed for a ten round overweight bout with Maxie Fisher in Newark. If Canzoneri fights Fisher, Ambers title prospects may be declared vacant. Also, Joe Jacobs loses his license as Schmeling’s manager for failing to file contract papers, hindering Maxie’s September title shot.
