Presented here is the rare on-site program from the 1965 Lewiston Maine heavyweight championship rematch fight between Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston. The black-and-white program is highlighted by patriotic red-white-and-blue American flag illustrations on the front and back covers with career highlights of both boxers on the inside. This very tough program is perhaps the rarest of all Clay/Ali programs. Is scarcity is due to the fact that the original November 1964 fight date in Boston Massachusetts had to be canceled following Ali's emergency hernia surgery. The promoters were forced to relocate to a small auditorium in Lewiston Maine. Due to the remote location well over one hundred miles from Boston fewer than 2500 fans were in attendance setting the record for the smallest crowd ever to watch a Heavyweight Championship bout. The program is in Excellent condition with only mild cover wear and soiling. Also included a closed circuit program for the fight in NM condition.
