			*Also scheduled for this card was a 10-rounder between Jersey Joe Walcott and Gus Lesnevich. However, four days prior to this card Lesnevich tripped and broke his small toe on his right foot and withdrew from the contest. The promoters of the card, Tournament of Champions, Inc., could not provide a suitable substitute for Walcott and scratched the fight from the card in lieu of a preliminary bout. TOC, Inc., also reduced ringside tickets from $40 to $30 due to losing that bout.
