	*''Sports Illustrated'' reported: "Much of the ugliness at Wembley could be laid directly at the feet of Minter. In front of too many people with notebooks, the champion had announced in early September, 'I am not letting any black man take the title from me.' He claimed to have been angered by Hagler's alleged refusal to shake hands as the two were introduced in the ring in Las Vegas last November when Hagler fought a controversial draw with then-champion [[Vito Antuofermo]]. [[Kevin Finnegan]], a former European middleweight champion, said he had gotten the same treatment from Hagler at that fight, accompanied by the memorable words, 'I don't touch white flesh.' In subsequent days, though, some fence-mending was done. Minter decided that what he actually said was '''that'' black man,' and Hagler, nattily outfitted in a three-piece pinstripe suit, presented himself to the British press and told reporters that his non-handshaking was non-racial: he never shakes hands with a fighter he might meet in the ring one day."		*''[[Sports Illustrated]]'' reported: "Much of the ugliness at Wembley could be laid directly at the feet of Minter.

During the ceremony, Hagler referred ruefully to the fact he had no championship belt to wear, saying the riot in England had forced officials to cancel the presentation.		*When Hagler returned home to Brockton, Massachusetts, he was presented the key to the city before a crowd of 10,000 at city hall.
