HEENEY'S FUTURE UNCERTAIN

NEW YORK, Ist March,
Maloney's victory brings the Boston boxer into prominence as a heavyweight to bo heard in his pretences for the championship. . % ~
It is rumoured that the New Zealander's defeat may result in the cancellation of contemplated bouts, but whether this will occur or not it certainly eliminates him from consideration for any possible bout with Dempsey should the latter accept offers for a comeback.
It is .interesting to note that although the Maloney-Heeney fight was one of the hardest-hitting battles in heavyweight history, neither man was ever in danger of a knock-out. The pace, however, told on Heeney after the fourth round.
