MUHAMMAD ALI
Black and white publicity photograph of Ali in mock boxing pose with
Sylvester Stallone, with an Oscar statue in the background.
Photograph signed: "Muhammad Ali". B/w, 10x8 overall, image 7½x7¼ (one
surface). Shown in mock boxing pose with Sylvester Stallone, with an Oscar
statue in the background. On February 25, 1964, Ali, as Cassius Clay, knocked
out champion Sonny Liston in the seventh round in Miami Beach to win the World
Heavyweight title. He was stripped of his title in 1967 for refusing
military service. On October 30, 1974, Ali KO'd George Foreman in the eighth
round in Zaire to regain the title. Leon Spinks became champ when he won a
15-round decision over Ali on February 15, 1978 in Las Vegas but lost a rematch
with Ali in New Orleans in another 15-round decision on September 15, 1978.
Ali retired as World Heavyweight Champion in 1979. He is the only
three-time World Heavyweight Champion. The film Rocky (1976), which
won the Academy Award for Best Picture, starred Stallone as Rocky Balboa, a down
and almost out boxer who gets a title shot against world champion "Apollo Creed"
(Carl Weathers), a champ loosely based on Ali. Fine condition.
