Rule change shields Patterson from early title defense
The NBA plans to extend the defense window to 12 months for heavyweights, keeping heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson from mandatory title defenses before September 13. The World Championships Committee approved the change unanimously and will bring it to the NBA convention for final approval. The six month rule would otherwise strip Patterson if he hasn’t defended by next Wednesday.
