Bob Lee, president of the International Boxing Federation, invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify before a Senate panel about allegations that he took a payoff to speed approval of a boxing promoter’s license.
During a hearing on alleged organized crime ties to professional boxing, Lee several times refused to discuss assertions that he had been a “bagman” for Jersey Joe Walcott, the former heavyweight who now heads the New Jersey Boxing Commission.
