Ali said to Bugner, "Let me tell you something right now. You’re the ugliest white thing I think I’ve ever seen in my life. Your mother must have cried when she had you.”
Bugner paused and said, "You haven’t met my sister! Now that’s ugly.’’
The main event was a rematch of an incredibly violent death match between local hero Joey Dawejko, 253 ¼, Phila., 26-10-4 (14), and formidable Colby Madison, 241 ¾, Baltimore, 11-6-2 (7).
Managed by California-based Rachel Charles, the Buddy McGirt-trained, “Zizzo” showed a lot of heart and determination after getting dropped by rugged Ronald Martinez of Ecuador in his last fight.
He had recently signed a professional contract with Probellum, one of boxing’s biggest promoters, coming off a strong amateur career that saw him capture 15 gold medals in international competition.
