Heene y to Sail for States After European Tour
New Zealand heavyweight challenger Tom Heeney sails from Southampton on April 18 after a month in London and Paris. Heeney, once a blacksmith, rose to world title challenger status and will train in the United States, using the St Nicholas arena for his early sessions. Heeney avoided stating a preferred next foe, with Gene Tunney, Paolino, or Johnny Risko possible, while Tex Rickard favored an elimination bout with Risko. Heeney’s promoter reportedly doubts his drawing power and he has gained weight during overseas sojourn.
