Ring Probe May Pay Off
Washington Senator Cain said a Congressional investigation of boxing is certain to hit pay dirt. He warned the International Boxing Club appears to have a near monopoly of about 90 percent of American boxers. Cain and Senator Welker may back investigations of boxing and wrestling rather than a single new measure. Magnuson proposed a probe of boxing and wrestling to test for obstructed competition and TV access. Cain cited the case of Harry Matthews of Seattle as a reason to study professional boxing.
