Pender Seeks Title Clarity After Court Reinstates
Paul Pender, reinstated world middleweight co champion, seeks a title bout to clarify the crown with co champion Dick Tiger. Five New York judges voided the commission’s November stripping, citing failure to give 20 days notice to file a challenge, leaving Pender as co champion in other jurisdictions. Cronin said Pender believes he can beat Tiger and wants promoters to arrange a match or a suitable challenger.
