I remember someone stating that Howard and Ray Leonard sparred during the Olympics.Anyone have any details concerning that session?

I read that Howard Davis,had a "mock" sparring session with talk show host Regis Philbin,and was actually STUNNED by a Philbin punch.I don't remember which magazine,but it was likely K.O.,Boxing Illustrated,or Ring ,but I did read it.

I think I heard the same thing years ago too.That's somewhat embarrassing for him.
