This gorgeous and unique poster was conceived and executed by The New Orleans Hilton to celebrate its one-year anniversary and promote the second Ali-Spinks bout at the nearby Superdome. "We're Planning a Knock-Out Celebration for Our First Anniversary. September 15, 1978," appears at top, above a huge boxing glove graphic with a giant "Spinks vs Ali" label on the wrist. Signed by both champs, large and bold in NRMT black Sharpie. This was the first heavyweight bout in The Crescent City since Sullivan-Corbett in 1892 and the fight where Ali won the title for an unprecedented third time. Exhibits in spectacular condition despite some minor creasing, one small border tear, and customary fold marks. Full LOA from JSA Authentication. Measures 33.75x22.75".
