You seem to be in two minds about which way to go. Wait and see what the next day or two brings, because there are some radical changes in the air and it’s quite likely your mind will be made up for you over the next 48 hours.
Leon Spinks, Boxer Who Took Ali’s Crown and Lost It, Dies at 67
He was an Olympic champion with few pro fights under his belt when he surprised the world by beating the champ in 1978. Things did not go smoothly after that.
Leon Spinks, who scored one of boxing’s greatest upsets when he defeated Muhammad Ali to capture the heavyweight championship in February 1978, but lost his crown in a rematch seven months later and never again found glory in the ring, died on Friday night in Henderson, Nev. He was 67.
His death, in a hospital, was announced by his wife, Brenda Glur Spinks, in a statement released by the family’s public relations representatives. His family announced in December 2019 that he had been hospitalized for treatment of prostate cancer that had spread to his bladder.
