New York February 9 United Press reports Johnny Dundee former world featherweight champion is barred from boxing in seventeen states and has been denied license in several others. Affected promoters fear the ban may end the veteran fighter's ring career.
The National Boxing Association suspends Dundee after the French Boxing Federation accuses him of breaking a Paris contract with promoters to face Fred Bretonnel. If all member states enforce, Dundee cannot box in seventeen ASA states including New York New Jersey Massachusetts or California until resolution. The move raises questions on the NBAs legal authority and right to discipline without a hearing.
The piece discusses New York boxing commissions and Paris dispatches noting Dundee's suspension.
