Basilio Seeks Return Bout With Saxton in Syracuse
Carmen Basilio will get a chance to regain the world welterweight title from Johnny Saxton in Syracuse as New York State Athletic Commission head Julius Helfand clears the way for Saxton to sign his own contract. Basilio previously lost the title March 14 in Chicago, and the bout was moved out of state due to disputes with Saxton’s manager. The NBA rule allowing fighters to sign their own contracts was cited, and Helfand noted the need for broader commission cooperation.
