Offered here is a RINGSIDE WORKING PRESS full ticket to the World Heavyweight Championship fight between champion Muhammad Ali and challenger Floyd Patterson held November 22 1965 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Ali dominated Patterson who was attempting to win the Heavyweight Title for the 3rd time before scoring a technical knockout at the end of the 12th round. Ali could have done the job sooner but wanted to punish Patterson for continuing to call him Cassius Clay and being critical of Black Muslims. For this Ali mocked and humiliated Patterson throughout the fight. The purple ticket presents very clean front and back. There are no creases or indentations and the edges are mostly sharp. The only noticeable blemish are rounded corners. Overall it appears to be in Near Mint condition. Ringside working press tickets are much scarcer than working press box tickets.
