Frazier Not Interested in Clay Fight in Atlanta
A Philadelphia meeting planned by House of Sports Inc. to promote a Cassius Clay vs Joe Frazier heavyweight title bout in Atlanta on October 26 drew no commitment from Frazier’s camp. Yank Durham denied any talks or intent to fight until he fulfills a prior agreement with Bob Foster. Governor Maddox questioned the fight amid Clay’s draft evasion conviction. Mayor Massell avoided taking sides as the legality of staging the event remained unresolved. In separate action, Ernie Spencer won the New England left handed golfers championship with 151 over 36 holes.
