B a ssey, former featherweight
champion, and the first Nigerian
to win a world boxing title, are
expected to co-promote the Tiger
Fullmer fight here.
The Negotiations have spanned
three continents. While Nigerians
have screamed to have Dick de-
fend at home, George Parnassus,
American promoter, once was
dickering to stage the fight in New
York and was willing to guarantee
a purse Of 80 pounds or $168, 900.
But the Nigerians, combining
public with government support,
have topped that offer. They have
speculated that the fight could
gross 10000 pounds, or $330,000,
If staged here. Lagos Is Nigeria's
largest city.
According to the report reach
ing here, the only major detail
still to be worked out was con-
firmation Of the actual date by
Tigers American manager, Jersey
Jones, in New York. Nigerians
have been insisting all along that
as the champion Tiger should "dic-
tate" the terms and site for the
rubber match.
At one point in the negotiations,
Labor Minister Johnson cabled
Jones as follows:
1T Is our understanding that 1t
is not (repeat not) the challenger
who dictates terms including
venue.
"As Dick Tiger has agreed to
fight in Nigeria, refusal by Full
mer should lead you to consider
offers from other American or
European challengers willing to ac-
cept Nigeria as venue (site)."
Fullmer, who liked to fight In
or near his native Utah when he
was champion, had been hedging
about fighting in Nigeria.
Tiger, however, has insisted
throughout on his right to make
his next title defense in Nigeria.
