Mike Schutte >

"I was told back in December 1976, that I was next for Ali. We were all set. Then they
told me that I would have to defeat an American Heavyweight that was rated in the
Top 20."

"Well, I just beat up #19 WBA-ranked Chuck Wepner pretty bad. Now, I'm told to
wait another 4-Months."

"I guess the Champion doesn't want to come to South Africa. That is a shame, as this
could be a wonderful event for our Country."
