New York, Apr. 4.
Freddie Steele, world middleweight champion, has agreed to defend his title against Young Corbett III in a ten-round bout in San Francisco in June, Tony Palazolo, San Francisco promoter, announced today.
Palazolo, visiting in New York, received a wire from Tacoma, Washington, in which Steele and his manager agreed to the terms offered by the promoter.
The promoter admitted that Cor-bert had not yet agreed to fight but said that he expected to hear from the former world welterweight champion shortly.
