1971’s Joe Frazier-Muhammad Ali title match was one of the most anticipated events in sports history. Ali had famously been stripped of his titles when he refused to be drafted in 1967. After a long legal battle, Ali’s conviction for draft evasion was overturned in 1971. Ali’s return to the ring was met with both celebration and derision, making the leadup to the Frazier-Ali fight even more dramatic. This Type 1 photo was taken by famed Madison Square Garden photographer George Kalinsky at Ali’s training camp as he prepared for what was billed as the "Fight of the Century." This photo is the mate of Kalinsky’s photo of Frazier in our next lot. The Type 1 photo measures 8” x 10” and has all four borders. The reverse of the photo has the original caption and credit information. Encapsulated Type 1 by PSA/DNA.
