What's on TV? Tuesday, April 22, 1969

Tonight's heavyweight title fight between champ Joe Frazier and challenger Dave Zyglewicz, live from Houston (6:30 p.m., KTXL), is for the "five-state" heavyweight championship, and if that sounds as ridiculous to read as it did to type, there's a good reason for it: when Muhammad Ali was stripped of his title, the World Boxing Association set up a tournament to select his successor. Frazier, the top-ranked contender, refused to take part in the tournament, and was subsequently recognized as the champion by the influential New York State Athletic Commission and five states (Massachusetts, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas and Maine), plus Mexico and Argentina. He knocks out Zyglewicz in the first round, and eventually defeats Jimmy Ellis, the WBA champion, to unify the title; he will become undisputed champion after beating Ali in 1971. That Ali fight wasn't on live home TV, though, while tonight's bout is a prominent part of the Northern California edition.
