Promoters Say Clay-Liston Bout Is On Despite Doubt
Boston promoters claim the Cassius Clay Sonny Liston heavyweight title fight is on for May 25 at Boston Garden after the Massachusetts Boxing Commission received answers to 12 questions from Suffolk County DA. Harold Conrad of Inter-Continental Promotions said the delay was resolved and contracts will be signed. The DA’s inquiries stemmed from legal questions about the match formerly scheduled last November when Clay’s surgery interrupted plans.
