Patterson, Johansson Bout Talked New York - (CPD - Promoter Bill Rosensohn declared stout ly today, "I expect Floyd Patterson and Ingemar Jo hansson to sign contracts Thursday for a June title fight," despite the following developments: -Promoter Harry Levene unexpectedly popped off in London and announced that Patterson will defend his world heavyweight title against ex-British Empire champion Brian London of England somewhere in the United States, probably in April. -Cus D'Amato, Patterson's manager, refused to confirm or deny Levene's London an nouncement, saying merely, "I'm surprised that Levene would make public any com munications between him and myself." Suit Fight -Contender Eddie Machen of Redding, Calif., has filed suit in a New York federal court to restrain top contend er Johansson of Sweden from fighting Patterson or anyone else before Johansson has a return bout with Machen. -Ten cities are now bid ding for the Patterson-Johansson fight, including Minne apolis, Philadelphia two groups, Indianapolis, Los An geles, New York, Colorado Springs, Colo., and four others whose names Rosen sohn will reveal "when they put their invitations in writing."
