Larry Holmes, who lost a split decision and failed in his bid to regain the International Boxing Federation’s heavyweight title from Michael Spinks in Las Vegas April 19, has filed official letters of protest to the IBF and Nevada State Athletic Commission.

Holmes’ attorney, Charles Spaziani, sent letters to the organizations and said he has asked Nevada’s attorney general to look into the decision.

Fred Little, head of the NSAC, said that Holmes’ protest will be discussed when the state’s five commissioners meet in May, adding that he doubted that the protest will be upheld.
