Senator Philip Hart cites a $50 000 promotional fee paid to Cassius Clay by Intercontinental Promotions and Tim Lassman of the WBA as focal points as calls grow for federal boxing oversight. Lassman aims to declare the heavyweight title vacant while the NY and IL commissions still recognize Clay as champion.
