~ Harry Kabakoff Seeks Lightweight Championship For His Fighter ~

Fight Manager - Harry Kabakoff is hoping to get WBC Lightweight Champion
Ishimatsu 'Guts' Suzuki to sign a deal to defend his Title against Vicente Mijares
for sometime in late-April of early-May, and at the 'Olympic Auditorium'.

Harry Kabakoff >
"We beat Randy Shields last week for the NABF Title, and it was a WBC Eliminator. Now
we are supposed to be the next one in line."

"We have $95,000 on the table for the Japanese fighter, and all we have to do is get
him to sign the contract."

"We wanted to Challenge WBA Champion - Roberto Duran as well, but he was supposed
to defend against San Diego's - Angel Mayoral in Las Vegas. But nobody has seen Duran
since December 1975, when he defeated {KO 15} Leonico Ortiz."
