New York - Jimmy Johnston declared today that he and other promoters would continue with his heavyweight elimination tournament to crown a new world champion. "Everyone knows that America has the best boxers on the planet and the championship belongs in this country. The New York State Boxing Commission has said they will recognize the winner of our tournament as the real champ, and Michigan, Illinois and Pennsylvania are prepared to follow their lead. Already, Joe Louis, Al Bray, Turkey Thompson, Bob Pastor and others have signed on, and matches will be made and posted in the press."
