Item Description
2.25". No maker. These two fought twice in 1978. The first was on Feb. 15th, which resulted in an upset victory for Spinks over the champ Ali in a split decision. Spinks became the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion after only eight professional bouts, and the only man ever to take a world title away from Ali in the ring, as Ali's other losses were either non-title bouts or world title fights where Ali was the challenger. The rematch took place on September 15th for the World Boxing Association and Lineal Heavyweight Champion titles. Ali regained the title with a unanimous decision over Spinks. Bottom third has some air under the cello resulting in a slightly lighter tone of the brown bkg. but much only seen in reflected light. Remains totally bright and glossy. Still Exc. Paul Muchinsky Collection Book Example.
