Appeal on boxing monopoly case heads to Supreme Court
The U S government asks the Supreme Court to overturn a district court ruling in a bid to break up what it calls a boxing monopoly. Defendants include Madison Square Garden and the International Boxing Clubs of New York and Illinois, with figures Norris and Wirtz named.
