Walcott Under Ultimatum for Title Defense
Jersey Joe Walcott may lose the world heavyweight title within 15 days after the New York State Athletic Commission ruled he failed to defend within six months. The commission, meeting with member C. B. Powell, informed Walcott by letter, while Louisiana withdrew its recognition though the NBA held back endorsement for now. Additionally, talks in Holyoke center on a $150,000 bid to defend in Boston against Rocky Marciano, with a possible $750,000 TV guarantee for Marciano.
