Liston to Change Managers Names Leahy as Manager Candidate
Heavyweight champion Sonny Liston plans to replace current adviser Jack Nilon with former Notre Dame coach Frank Leahy as his manager. Leahy, 54, who left Notre Dame in 1954, has long been linked to Liston, who recently defeated Floyd Patterson. The Times-Picayune cites a reliable source noting Leahy’s decision and influence, while Liston notes talks remain unfinished but Leahy appears to be his choice. Liston and Leahy reportedly met at a Portland fight where Liston refereed.
