WBA Threatens Suspension Over Liston Patterson Rematch
An official of the World Boxing Association says any state or nation permitting a Liston Patterson rematch should be suspended. Emile Bruneau, WBA world championship chair, noted the contract requires Liston to grant Patterson a rematch or surrender a portion of his purse until he pays $1 million. Dr. Charles Larson, head of the NBA successor, said a rematch would be the worst for boxing right now. Liston won the title from Patterson with a first round KO in Chicago last September.
