At the same; time he dismissed Harry Matthews as a possible heavyweight challenger as far as New York is concerned. Monday the fast-moving chairman of the State Athletic Com mission warned Walcott to agree within IS days to a title defense. He announced Tuesday that Charles, former' champion, had forwarded a formal challenge and a $5,000 forfeit check. This all resulted in statements and counter-statements by Walcott and his manager. Felix Bocchicchio; Jack Hurley, manager of Mat thews; Marty Weill, managerof undefeated Heavyweight Rocky Mar- ciano, and the International Box ing Club, among others. Here's what happened today: 1 Christenberry said Charles was the logical contender; that he did not consider Matthews as a heavyweight challenger and that, in his opinion, Matthews doesn't want to. fight Light Heavyweight Champion Joey Maxim, i Charles 1st In Line 2 C h r i s t e n berry said that Charles was universally regarded as the Nf. 1 contender and de serving of the title shot and that he thought Walcott should make bis title defense by late March or early April. 3 Marty Weill said "Marciano will not attempt to get a champ ionship fight with Walcott unless Charles wants to step aside. 4 Bocchicchio said we may decide to sign for three bouts within 15 days probably a first bout in March with Matthews on the West Coast and a title defense in June . . . We have a verbal agreement made under duress to defend against Charles . . . We will take one tuneup fight, preferably against Matthews, and I look with favor on signing for a title bout with either Marciano or Charles. 5 Bocchicchio didn't explain how W a 1 c o 1 1, as heavyweight champion could engage in a tune up with Matthews. Every time a heavyweight king steps into a ring for a bout he risks his title. 6 Walcott told newsmen he was "ready to fight right now against any fighter that the IBC should pick as my opponent."" 7 Hurley, in Seattle, predicted Matthews would sign within a few days to meet Walcott. He said Harry Hunt of Las Vegas, Nev., was trying to arrange the bout. 8 The IBC Insisted that it had a solid contract for a return bout between Charles and Walcott. Rollin' Along (Contused from preceding page) Walcett, whilst the return boat committment with Ezxard Charles bancs heavy everhead. Felix wants Mareiana sr Matthews became they'd serve as the Implements to draw lets of people and lots of money. And Bocchic chio knows he and old Jersey Joe had better be making a lot of money quick. And what does Charles' camp think about all this? The balm is supplied by BocchicebJo's assurance that Walcott will fulfill his obli gation to Ezzard AFTER a bent with either Rocky or the Kid from Seattle. BofHhat east be particularly so at Mac to Charles aineo the chances x are one to ten that Jersey Joe no longer will be heavyweight champ when Marciano or Matthews gets done with him.
