Liston to Have Knee Operation Before Title Defense
Sonny Liston traveled to Chicago for an 80 minute knee examination and to arrange surgery with a six month recovery before a possible comeback. The Miami Beach boxing commission requested its own doctors to assess the knee and postponed the April 10 Liston Patterson bout. Doctors found damage to the mesial semi lunar cartilage and recommended surgical repair. Liston's camp canceled the April 10 fight and an operation was planned for next week in Chicago with Dr. Duke Baird to perform the procedure.
