Public spectacles are banned during polling hours so the fight will be staged in ■private. The fight promotor Rafito Cedeno said onlv
friends and journalists will witness the fight, which will be held in a hotel. The date could not be changed because of commitments to United States television which plans live coverage. The bout cannot be shown live on Venezuelan television for fear of distracting the attention of the electorate, a spokesman for the Supreme Electoral Council said. However, live radio commentary will be permitted.
