Referee Sues Ali for 20 Million Over Fight Remarks
Tony Perez, the ringside referee for Muhammad Ali vs Chuck Wepner, filed a 20 million dollar federal suit in Manhattan alleging Ali launched a campaign of hate and libel after the bout. Perez says Ali insulted him as Puerto Rican and black, threatened to bar him from future fights, and accused him of unfair officiating. Perez also disputes Ali’s rabbit punching claims and describes the fight as dirty with Wepner knocked down in the ninth and Ali aiming to kill after the knockdown.
