The world Boxing Council reversed an earlier plan to strip Muhammad Ali of the heavyweight title for his March 24 fight with Chuck Wepner. The WBC will sanction the bout if the winner agrees to face Britain’s Joe Bugner next, else a new champion could be named. Ali is favored to win and may then pursue fights with Ron Lyle, Joe Frazier, or George Foreman.
