Dethroned Ray Robinson eyes fight in Europe NEW YORK (UPI)--Sugar Ray Robinson, dethroned as middle weight champion by the National Boxing Association and threatened by the New York State Athletic Commission, may seek sanctuary in Europe. "I've been offered a big guar antee by promoter Fritz Gretsch cll of Berlin to defend my title against Gustav Scholz if I'm forced out of my own country," said Sugar Ray today. Scholz, of Germany, is the fourth-ranking contender, but he has been rejected as challenger by both the NBA and the New York commission. Each organiza tion insisted that 39-year-old Rob inson defend against former champion Carmen Basilio of Chit tenango, N.Y. The NBA vacated Robinson's 160-pound championship Monday because of his excessive delay in signing for a defense against" Ba silio. And the independent New York commission probably will follow suit if he fails to sign by May 15 for a Basilio match. Although tho European Boxing Union has a working agreement with the NBA, it's uncertain whether the EBU would concur with the NBA in dethroning Sugar Ray, were lie to sign for the Scholz fight in Germany. West Germany is a member of the EBU. Dr. Ward Wylie, president of the NBA, announced the with drawal of championship recogni tion from Robinson at Mullens, W.Va., Monday. At the same time, Wylie ordered a fight for the vacant crown within 60 days between former champions Basilio and Gene Fullmer of West Jor dan, Utah. Wylie said the Basilio-FuHmer winner would defend against an NBA-selected challenger within 90 days thereafter, and that the chal lenger might be third-ranking Spi der Webb of Chicago. As far as the United States, Canada and Mexico are con cerned, Robinson now is recog nized as champion only in New York state. And he declared flat ly at a press conference Monday night he never would defend in New York "as long as the pres ent boxing commission is in of fice." He charged the New York com mission had rejected Scholz as an acceptable challenger and had in sisted upon Basilio "because of politics and the lingering power of Jim Norris." Multi-millionaire Norris was head of the court- busted International Boxing Club monopoly. Now he is top man in a new organization, Chicago Box ing Enterprises.
