ITPC FALL 2023 SPORTS MEMORABILIA AUCTION
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/30/2023
When Joe Frazier met Muhammad Ali at Madison Square Garden on March 8, 1971, the storyline went much deeper than two undefeated heavyweights clashing for the belt. Ali had refused induction in the U.S. Army, was considered radical chic and seemed to embody the culture of the 1960s. Frazier was cast as a champion fighting for the establishment. All that, and the fight actually lived up to its billing as the "Fight of the Century." After 15 rounds of thrilling toe-to-toe action, Frazier won a unanimous decision. This pennant was a souvenir of that historic fight. It's 25" long with a little wear on the top edge. The tip is rounded, but overall it's in excellent condition.
