Muhammad Ali vs Joe Frazier III closed circuit programme, 1st october 1975, Araheta Coliseum, Quezon City, Philippines.

Excellent conditon.

Ali and bitter rival Joe Frazier clashed for the third and last time in their epic series. The affair more than lived up to it's pre-fight billing as the "Thrilla in Manila" in fact this torrid confrontation was one of the toughest ever fought for the world heavyweight title and one in which Ali was pushed to his limits before emerging victorious after 14 pulsating rounds. This battle could justly be considered one of the great heavyweight clashes of all time, brutal dramatic, and wildly exciting it was a fitting finale to one of boxing's classic rivalries.

Price: £75

Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky. 17th January 1942. Ali said he was “The Greatest” and to most he was. He was the first man in history to win the Heavyweight championship 3 times. In 1964 he demolished Liston to become Heavyweight champion and in the return fight, knocked out Liston in the first round. He was stripped of the title in 1967 for refusing to join the U.S Army. Following the first defeat of his career to Joe Frazier he regained his title with an incredible win over Foreman in Zaire. He defended his title 10 times before losing it to Leon Spinks whom he outpointed in the return match winning the title for the historic third time. It was arguably the greatest heavyweight boxing career of all time.
