Addressed that in my edit above. Announced, yes, but I don’t think it was scheduled. The impression I got from the Holmes-LeDoux broadcast was that Larry said he had signed the contract (I presume Ali too since he was there in a ringside seat leading cheers and chants between rounds) and that the only obstacle was Larry had to get past Scott and it would go forward three months later in this well-known city.
