WBC to Withdraw Spinks Title Over Open Bid Fight
World Boxing Council president Jose Sulaiman said the 15-2 vote could strip Spinks of the title if he does not accept open bidding for a title bout with No. 1 ranked Ken Norton. The WBC warned action may come after Friday midnight with details pending, while Top Rank and CBS eye a rematch with Ali.
