On October 1, 1975, Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier met for the third and final time in the historic "Thrilla In Manila." Ali emerged victorious in what was clearly one of the great fights of the century when Joe Frazier, eyes swollen shut, could no longer continue. Offered here is a rare, original, official program for this fight, which has been signed on the cover by Muhammad Ali, "Muhammad Ali d/b/a Cassius Clay" in Sharpie. The 44-page program is complete with tight binding and has not been scored. The program has some edge and surface wear and there is creasing at the bottom right of the front and bottom and top at back. There is a tear on one page with no paper loss. This is an exceptionally rare program and almost never seen signed.
