clared that he s'had found

Delaney and Jack Sharkey again

Once two of the most colorful and

Sharkey and Delaney have

through their refusal to fight in

pearances.
This time, it's fight or quit for

what they are going to do to each
other, but a few of the fight fans
who have been paying S2750 ring
