Johansson Patterson rematch looks good to boxing king
Heavyweight champion Ingemar Johansson and Floyd Patterson appear likely to meet in a June rematch after a decisive New York conference with New York State Athletic Commission chairman Gen. Melvin Krulewitch. Johansson and adviser Edwin Ahlquist were questioned by the attorney general about rematch agreements and rights sales. The commission review follows a stalled deal and a Kaufman-like transfer of promotional rights. Johansson cited a $153,475.17 total held monies, including $53,475.17 in escrow from last June’s purse, to guarantee the return bout. Krulewitch said future meetings would address the funds.
