Billed as "The Greatest Event In All Sports History" this 1971 Heavyweight championship bout at Madison Square Garden later became known as "The Fight of the Century" or "The Fight". Frazier defeated Ali by decision after fifteen rounds to retain the heavyweight title. This poster is red and black lettering on yellow and white background with photos of both fighters. The banner across the photos of the fighters have the names mixed up but have the names in small print correct under the fighters. The banner also bills Muhammad Ali as "A.K.A Cassius Clay". Frazier has signed in black ball point pen in between his legs in the lower right while Ali has signed in black felt tip pen above his photo on the left. Both autographs are in excellent condition and would rate a 8-9/10. The poster measures 14"x22" and has some wear on the edges and corners.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
