He will award the heavyweight crown to the winner of Schmeling Sharkey, opposes Tunney’s plan to eliminate contenders, and argues for a champion meeting challengers every six months. He also wants 40 percent of milk fund receipts to go to charity and opposes staging the Sharkey Schmeling bout as a June feature of the milk fund show.
