SCENE
KINSHASA, Zaire - The
manager of world heavyweight
champion George Foreman
said today that a New York
announcement that Foreman
would fight.Muhammad Ali Oct.
30 was made without consulting
him. And Dick Sadler says the
date doesn’t-- in his words-
“Have too much to do with
reality.” Sadler says that date
is one of those discussed- but
that nothing can be determined
until the bandage comes off
Foreman’s injured eye Sunday.
The bout’s co-promoters, Video
Technique, had said yesterday
the fight in Zaire would be Oct.
30. Foreman’s injured eye- the
result of sparring mishap
Monday- is being treated by an
admittedly “homemade”
remedy devised by Sadler.
The injuury forced an in-
definite postponement of the 30
million dollar bout.
