Clay seeks Texas boxing license halts Frazier match plans
Cassius Clay moved from a smoke screen to win a Texas boxing license but initial rejection by Texas Bureau of Labor Statistics stalled a Texas bout. Promoters filed suit in District Court to force licensing for a possible February or March fight in the Astrodome, but sources say litigation could delay the case for months and ruin chances of a Clay Frazier bout in Texas. Tommy V. Smith’s rejection on grounds of questionable character is challenged as vague and unconstitutional.
