Both fighters are returning to their camps as reon as possible to remain quiet until Monday.

Promoter Joe Jacobs hopes that as a result of the postponement he will be able to get a larger crowd on out that Monday, but it is pointed several disappointed Welshmen will have to leave New York before Mon- day.
