Boxing Racket Witness Testifies in Don Jordan Case
Boxing promoter Jackie Leonard testified he was assaulted by a hoodlum who called him a stool pigeon as part of a federal probe into an alleged boxing racket tied to world welterweight champ Don Jordan. Leonard, a key witness against Frank Carbo and Blinky Palermo and others, said the attack came after threats to turn over a share of Jordan’s earnings. He described two previous beatings, police involvement, and fears of retaliation amid a wider bid to “clean up the sport” by targeting Carbo.
