Loughran seeks Sharkey clash as heavies avoid title bout
Chicago reports Tommy Loughran still pursues a Sharkey heavyweight title fight after promoters fail to lure top contenders. Promoter Paddy Harmon says stars like Sharkey, Stribling, and Risko ignore his calls, while Loughran insists he can beat any heavyweight and may vacate the light heavyweight crown to pursue Sharkey. Harmon plans to press other contenders, including Schmelling, to secure an opponent.
