Clay Can Fight In Atlanta
Promoters say only lack of signatures on a contract keeps a heavyweight title bout between Cassius Clay and Joe Frazier from Atlanta in October. Clay has obtained a license from the Atlanta Athletic Commission and says he is willing to fight Frazier at City Auditorium. Frazier’s camp disputes the reports but leaves open the possibility of a future bout if Clay proves licensed. Georgia official Leroy Johnson says the law is satisfied and the plan proceeds, with city leaders giving cautious support despite federal and state questions.
