This is certainly one of the most iconic boxing photos extant. A very young and ferocious Muhammad Ali towers over a prostrate Sonny Liston during their May 25 1965 championship match. Ali was a heavy underdog when he met Sonny Liston for the heavyweight championship on February 25 1964 at Miami Beach FL but he won the fight when Liston failed to come out for the 8th round claiming a shoulder injury. In the very first minute of the first round of their May 25 1965 rematch at Lewiston ME Ali knocked Liston out with a punch that few observers even saw and only photographer Neil Leifer managed to capture the moment perfectly. This piece represents Leifer’s quintessential work in black and white. The photo is professionally enlarged to a size of 30" by 40." It is displayed under Plexiglas with the thick wooden frame making the overall dimensions 42" by 52". The photo is in excellent condition with only a few surface scratches visible. Ali has signed the left side in bold gold Sharpie that rates a 9/10 in our book. PSA/DNA cert. sticker #3A35427 for the autograph.
NOTE: Large dimensions of this piece may require excess shipping cost or freight. Local pick-up recommended.
