Commission Says Ray Should Hold One Title
The New York State Athletic Commission tentatively ruled Sugar Ray Robinson may vacate his middleweight title if he wins the light heavyweight title against Joey Maxim. The rule, adopted in 1952, allows a holder of one world championship to challenge another class, with automatic vacating if he wins. Seven-state NBA-aligned commissioners may discuss changes after meetings in New York.
