Cassius Clay ~ "1967 Planned Title Bouts"

[Bill Paxtom]

1967

Cassius Clay,

After making 1967 Title Defenses against Ernie Terrell and Zora Folley in 1967;

* February 6 ......... W Dec 15 ......Ernie Terrell
* March 22............ TKO 7 ........... Zora Folley

Cassius 'secretly' wanted to set an unprecented Title Defense record, and had planned bouts against the following opponents;

* April.............. Floyd Patterson II ................... Las Vegas, Nevada
* May............... Leotis Martin .......................... Stockholm, Sweden
* June.............. Thad Spencer ........................ Oakland, California
* July............... Karl Mildenberger II ............... Frankfurt, Germany
* August........... Oscar Bonavena..................... Tokyo, Japan
* September..... George Chuvalo II .................. Toronto, Canada
* November...... Joe Frazier ............................. Houston, Texas

This would have given Cassius '9' Title defenses in single year.
