"Canadian George Chuvalo thinks he deserves another shot at boxing's heavyweight championship. Chuvalo knocked out Vic Brown, a former National AAU champion from NY, Monday night in the 4th round of a scheduled 10 rounder. Chuvalo, who at 216 had a 17 pound pull in the weights, floored Brown with a body barrage at the outset of the 4th. Brown got up and was KO'd in attempting to outslug the Toronto heavyweight." -Associated Press

• Chuvalo's manager wired a $150,000 dollar offer to the Muhammad Ali camp for the champion to meet Chuvalo for the title at Boston Garden.

Post fight comment

• "I'm a better all-round fighter now than when I lost to Clay in 15 rounds last year. I move better, hit with both hands and counter-punch more effectively than when I fought Clay. My only hope is that he stays out of the Army long enough for me to get another shot at him." -George Chuvalo
