Slattery Rosenblum Title Fight Set in Hartford
Promoter Rainault will stage a ten round world light heavyweight title bout in Hartford with Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo and Maxie Rosenblum of New York City. Boxing Commissioner Thomas Donohue vows the bout will be championship, though New York and some officials dispute recognition. The event clashes with rival claims over who holds the title as McTigue lingered in dispute, while other bouts and doubles results stream in from nearby matches. Pat McCarthy seeks a fair chance but weighs at catchweights as Donohue imposes 175 pounds as limit for title eligibility.
