1977 United States Boxing Championships Series information


The 1977 United States Boxing Championships Series, also known internationally as the Ring Magazine Scandal[1] was a controversial professional boxing tournament which was organized by American boxing promoter Don King, and which involved fights that were telecast on American television network ABC.[2] The tournament was ultimately cancelled because a duo composed of New York City writer Malcolm "Flash" Gordon and television sportscaster Alex Wallau discovered that there were many fraudulent concerns around it, including falsified boxer records and fighter rankings.

Boxing magazine The Ring was also involved, as one of their assistant editors fixed ratings at that magazine to make certain boxers look better to viewers.
