Legislature Bans Prize Fighting In Texas Fight Off Limits
In Austin, the Texas Legislature overwhelmingly passed a bill prohibiting prize fighting, making such bouts a felony with a prison term of two to five years for principals. The emergency clause faced opposition but was upheld, and the measure now goes to the Governor for signature. The move blocks Corbett and Fitzsimmons from staging a world championship bout in Texas.
