Slimmed-down Ali Favored In Heavyweight Title Fight
Muhammad Ali weighs 220 pounds, down 10 pounds, as he opens as solid favorite to defend against European champion Richard Dunn in Munich. Tickets lag while promoters incur debt. Ali’s charity ticket giveaway and Dunn’s upset bid frame an overpriced bout with TV on NBC. Dunn, a 6-foot-3 ex paratrooper, vows to shock the greatest fighter, while a stage collapse moments before the weigh-in adds to the bout’s odd build up.
