New York Sets Path for Clay License Move
New Yorks boxing authority will consider Cassius Clay Muhammad Ali for a state license when he applies. The New York State Athletic Commission, which stripped him of the heavyweight title after his 1967 military draft conviction, had denied a license last October. A federal judge ruled the ban arbitrary and the commission will not appeal. Clay remains appealing the conviction and holds a license in Atlanta for a October 26 15 round bout with Jerry Quarry.
