Robinson Keeps Middleweight Title After NYSAC Hearing
The New York State Athletic Commission kept Sugar Ray Robinson as world middleweight champion, ruling it would be unfair to strip him on a technicality. Robinson and Carm en Basilio were urged to finalize a title fight arrangement, with a Sept 21 bout contract signed in Philadelphia promoter Sam Rose’s name. The NBA has vacated recognition, but could restore the title if the Philadelphia fight contracts proceed. Robinson has not defended the crown since winning it on March 25, 1988.
