Show NAMED 'OUTSTANDING FIGHTER OF THE YEAR' Undefeated heavyweight boxer box-er Ron Lyle, partner of Utah Stars, owner Bill Daniels, has been named "Outstanding Fighter of the Year" by the World Boxing Association. Bill Miller, ratings chairman of the WBA, who at the same time announced that Lyle has moved up to fourth among the ranking heavyweights of the world, called Lyle "the most exciting heavyweight contender contend-er since Muhammad Ali." The only heavyweights presently pres-ently ranked ahead of Lyle are World Champion Joe Frazier Ali, George Foreman and Jimmy Jim-my Ellis. |
