Boxer Testifies of Being Forced to Take Dives in California
Los Angeles boxer Tommy Campbell testified before the governor’s probe board that he was instructed to throw three fights including a May 16 1950 bout with Art Aragon at the Olympic Auditorium. Babe McCoy denied the charge as Campbell described further attempts to lose to Del Flanagan and a required payout, while Aragon and Flanagan offered cautious responses. Campbell faced guard detail during his stay and claimed compensation disputes with the state commission.
