The fight may be on theater TV or on the regular Saturday night fight schedule. 1 hese announcements were made by Marv Jenson, Cene't manager, after Marv had spent the day negotiating ne-gotiating with Pender's people and officials of the production outlets. Pender, following his unanimous Boston decision oveV Terry Downes Saturday night, said he was anxious anx-ious to clear up the title with Gene. Pender holds the New York and Massachusetts titles and whatever European cloak there is to wear. Fullmer holds the NBA title in 48 of the 50 states. Pender, according to Norman Rothschild, Syracuse promoter, will vacation for three days, play golf for four more and then return to his training quarters to continue in shape for the Fullmer fight. "Pender will try and keep up the edge rather than shape down and then try and shape up again," Rothschild said. Fullmer, will go into training as soon as the date is settled. |
