Tall Order For Tiger
(N.Z P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) NEW YORK. The champion, Dick Tiger, and the challenger, Bob Foster, yesterday signed official contracts for their world light heavy-weight title fight at M.idison Square Garden on May 24. As the boxers posed for photographs, it was obvious that the fight will be a tall order for Tiger, who now gives his allegiance to secessionist Biafra. Tiger, at sft Bin, was dwarfed by the 6ft 3in Foster. But the champion beat the lanky Roger Rouse in 12 rounds when he made his second successful title defence last November.
