New York State Athletic Commission refused to recognize the planned June 8 Boston bout between Willie Pep and Sal Bartolo as a title fight. Ex-Champion Chalky Wright and Phil Terranova were named as top contenders, with the winner to challenge Pep for the New York title.

Lou Visensi, Pep’s manager, was asked to attend Thursday’s meeting to decide if he will face the survivor of the Bartolo Wright bout as Pep’s title opponent.
