New York Boxing Board May Bar Bout Between Delaney and Paulino

Intimations circulated in New York boxing circles that the New York Boxing Commission may bar the proposed Delaney Paulino bout by adopting a rule forcing boxers to remain in their weight class or face suspension. The board might also scrutinize Delaney’s recent weigh-in and past out-of-class bouts as a cautionary precedent. Supporters argue the rule would create even matchups, while opponents cite historic champions who fought across weights and advocate free matchups. Pauling managers consider bloodless exhibitions to gauge public appeal and plan to seek state approval to have Paulino appear in Boston seven days before the bout.
