| Smokin'Joe Frazier returns to the ring |
| Smokin'Joe Frazier is stepping into the ring again - against the mayor of Memphis for a fundraiser involving a local charity. The three-round bout between the 62-year-old boxer, no stranger to making appearances for charity, and 65-year-old Mayor Willie Herenton is set for Nov. 30 at the Peabody Hotel and expected to raise $100,000 for the Shelby County Drug Court, an alternative program for nonviolent adult offenders with drug charges. "I'm not taking this event lightly," said Herenton, a former amateur boxing champ who plans to train for the fight with the help of city police officers. |
