not going through with fight in
Boston and also give Delaney per-
mission to fight outside the 175

manager has indicated that the
French Canadian might rcnounce his
light heavyweight title in order to
go out and fight with the heavy
weights where the most money is to
be made.
A Paulino-Delanoy battle would be
a kind of Consolation round in the
heavyweight elimination tourney. De-
laney was eliminated last winter
