Illinois Athletic Commission Postpones Boxing Suspension
The Illinois Athletic Commission postponed action on Governor Green’s plan to suspend professional boxing until next Monday. If the ban proceeds a court battle is likely. Attorneys for Ir vin Kevin and Mitchell Sandler said they spent 25000 on the Robinson Abrams bout and warned of legal action citing lack of authority. The April 7 deadline supports a $10000 Sam Baroudi benefit fight, while Baroudi died after a Feb 21 bout. The commission also suspended Mike Spinell for unsportsmanlike conduct.
