Boxer Joe Frazier Fighting for charity
By Stephen Lars
Joe Frazier is stepping into the ring again, one more time; ex-world heavyweight boxing champion Smokin’ Joe Frazier will step back into the ring for a three-round charity exhibition match in Memphis.
The three-round bout between, the six-foot-six, 62-year-old boxer and 65-year-old Mayor Willie Herenton is set for Nov. 30 at The Peabody Hotel.
Contender Herenton has been training conscientiously for several weeks. The 66-year-old mayor, a former amateur boxer, won his first of several amateur matches at age 14, but retired from boxing 40 years ago.
The rumble is expected to raise 100,000 dollars for the Shelby County Drug Court treatment program.
