Boxing Commission To Vacate Dempsey Title Plan
New York State Athletic Commission plans to vacate Jack Dempsey's heavyweight title and set a hearing for August 4 to consider a split between Dempsey and his championship. The move aims to recognize Harry Wills or Gene Tunney as the new champion, with likely action preceding any possible bout. The commission seeks Dempsey's appearance and acceptance of Wills' challenge. Meanwhile Panamanian pugilist Kink Solomon impresses in Boston and is signed to fight Jack Sharkey in July.
