Ali to fight Coopman next in bid for big payday
New York AP Muhammad Ali's next foe is Belgium’s Jean Pierre Coopman, with promoter Don King listing Feb 20 as the date. Coopman, nicknamed the Lion of Flanders, said he feels beat from the start but will train hard to avoid a mere formality. King aims for a US July 4 bout vs Ken Norton, with a possible April clash vs Henry Clark in the Dominican Republic. Coopman has a 24-3-0 record and has won 10 straight, though Belgian press doubt surrounds his shot. De Jaegher calls Coopman a tough challenger.
