New Ultimatum Deepens Ring Title Complications
The New York State Athletic Commission ordered heavyweight champion Gene Tunney to face a challenger from Jack Sharkey Tom Jenkins or Johnny Biasko by next Tuesday or face suspension, while promoter Tex Rickard rejects the move and hints at continued title negotiations. The commission also demands Tunney defend the title twice this year, and efforts to stage a June bout with Tony Heeney and Johnny Risko bog down over guarantees for a potential Trinew match.
