MUHAMMAD AU stopped experimental treatment
for Parkinson's Disease in Boca Raton, south Florida
because he felt he was being used to attract publicity
for the clinic.
Jerry Jacobson, a retired dentist and oral surgeon,
said he felt awful. "The media came on so strong," he
said. "I guess Ali and his wife [Lonnie] felt swamped,
but it was not the case. It had notliing to do with business.
Ail I wanted was to show how effective the treatment
was."
Ali, who began treatment on July 28, quit after five
days and returned to his home in Berrien Springs,
Michigan. "I feel I was there to promote the clinic," said
the former champion.

SCOTTISH super-middleweight Willie "The Mighty" Quinn, fresh off a highly
controversial points defeat against Giovanni Pretorius in South Africa, has
turned down a return visit.
Manager Alex Morrison said "No thanks" to an offer to fight British and European
champion Dean Francis in a non-title affair on August 22, when Ronald
"Wmky" Wright defends his WBO light-middleweight title against hard-hitting
Ncimibian Harry Simon, his mandatory challenger, in the main event.
"That diabolical result against Pretorius has left some bad memories of the
place," said Quinn. Instead he will box at Glcisgow's Thistle Hotel on September
25.
Francis, meanwhile, will facc Joseph T^abalala on the Hammanskraal show.

GEORGIE SMITH, the Basildon
light-welterweight with a
hearty following and no shortage
of self-confidence, takes a sensible
step up in class at York Hall, Bethnal
Green on September 8 against
former British title challenger
CHARUE KANE.
