The two fights between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston for boxing's World Heavyweight Championship were among the most anticipated, watched, and controversial fights in the sport's history. The first of these fights was held in February 1964, and has been named by Sports Illustrated as the fourth greatest sports moment of the twentieth century, as Ali (then known as Cassius Clay, relatively unknown and the definite underdog) won when Liston (current Heavyweight Champ) gave up at the opening of the seventh round (after clearly being dominated in the sixth, when the famous "Ali over Liston" photograph was captured). Offered here is a 2.25" x 4.75" vintage notebook page cut signed by both heavyweight greats in ballpoint pens. This cut has been framed beautifully with a poster print from that fated 1964 fight, the iconic Ali over Liston photograph, and a replica ticket from the fight! Don't miss your chance to own this beautiful relic from a most historic moment in sporting history. Ready for immediate display, with the frame measuring a total of 22.5" x 35". Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
