There is something worse than a golf or football widow—and that is a boxer's wife. Honing the will to win, some trainers like to keep their stars sexually frustrated. Last week as a presumably fighting-mad Heavyweight Jerry Quarry, 29, weighed in at Madison Square Garden for his bout with former World Champion Joe Frazier, his wife Charlie weighed in with comments on their married life for NBC's Today show. "We have a two-week curfew," explained the blonde former Miss Indiana. "Gil Clancy, Jerry's manager, is in the room right next to us, and his ear is glued to the wall. If there's a cough in the middle of the night, Gil says, 'What are you doing in there?' " Getting Jerry alone has not been easy. The Quarrys. married in August, just two days before a fight. Since then Jerry's schedule has been so crowded that he and Charlie were not able to take a honeymoon until last month. Alas, Clancy's faith in chastity as a training regimen was not justified. Frazier kayoed Quarry in the fifth round.
