Midleweight Champ Sugar Ray
Robinson, who doesn’t like to
fight on hot nights, rejected,
this week, a proposal to defend
his title against Welterweight
King Carmen Basilio in July.
Jim Norris, president of the
International Boxing Club, 'told
Robinson he would like to pro
mote the fight at Yankee Sta
dium in early J uly.
“It. could be real hot then,”
said Robinson, who regained the
middleweight crown from Gene
Fullner May 1. “I have a mental
block about fighting on hot
nights ever since the Joey Maxim
fight. If we make the fight, it
will have to be in September.”
' Robinson collapsed from heat
prostration in the 14th round of
his light heavyweight title fight
with Maxim at Yankee Stadium,
June 25, 1952. He had been far
ahead when he collapsed from
the 104-degree heat.
