Futlmer's Manager
Vetos March Return
NEW YORK, Jan. 4 (A')—
Sugar Ray Robinson finally
imade up his mind today and
said he was ready to meet his
'conqueror, Gene Fullmer, in a
return bout. He may have to wait
longer than he expected to get the
crack at the new middleweight
champion. -
After the dapperly dressed Rob
inson, flanked by his five-man
brain trust, told newsmen that he
was anxious to meet the muscular
Mormon again "whenever they
say," Fullmer's manager said he
was in no hurry and that an out
door, fight in Yankee Stadium in
'June would be about the best
time.
President Jim Norris of the
International Boxing Club had
suggested mid-March as a likely
date for the second fight and
Sugar Ray said that was great.
But Mary Jenson, Fullmer's
manager, said later in the day.
that March was definitely out
and besides he wanted Gene to
make some money with three
or four overweight, non-title
bouts first.
Jenson, a large scale mink rais
er, said he lost money because he
missed the pelting season in De
cember and that he couldn't af
ford to be away from his ranch in
March.

and his managers) did the dicta
ting before," added Jenson. "We're
the dictators now. I don't mean it
that strongly but we're going to
call the shots. We've got the cham
pionship. When we signed for the
first fight Robinson said the cham
pion would name the date and
site for the return. Well, we've
got the title."
The return contract calls for
a fight within 90 days of the
first one held last 'Wednesday.
Jan. 2.
"I know that," said Jenson. "If
he wants to fight in February.
okay. That will fulfill the eon
traet. I think aetually if we sign
within 90 days that would be all
right, too."
• It was indicated that New
York wont get the return be
cause of the television blackout
problem. The fight in the Gar
den was broadcast and telecast
nationally but New York and
Philadelphia were blacked out
of the telecast, something the
sponsor wasn't happy about. *
..While he held the center of the
stage, Robinson declared "I want
the title back and get it."
He also said that he would fight
differently the next time and in
dicated that if Fullmer was - rough
again he would match his tactics.
