NEA Defense of Schools Attacked by Davis

Illinois boxing panel questions Maxim Satterfield title bout
The Illinois State Athletic Commission questions why Joey Maxim cannot defend his light heavyweight title against Bob Murphy in Chicago after his May 20 defeat to Ezzard Charles. Murphy earned the title shot with a May 1951 TKO of Jake LaMotta, while two top challengers Archie Moore and Harry Matthews dispute the merit of the bout. If action is taken, NBA involvement could jeopardize Maxim’s championship plans.
