Though not often mentioned among his greatest opponents, Joe Bugner had the distinction of taking Muhammad Ali to the limit in not one but two bouts before falling on points. Stellar offering for boxing historians includes the green variation of the ticket to the 1975 rematch in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the only Heavyweight Championship fight held in that country to date. Despite sweltering heat and an early barrage from The Greatest, Bugner held his ground and gained steam as the fight went on before falling short in a 15-round decision. Immediately thereafter, Ali challenged Joe Frazier to what would become known as the "Thrilla' in Manilla." Full, unused ticket is 7.5x4" and in nice condition with a bit of wear at the top edge but sharp otherwise and in EX condition; encapsulated by PSA as Authentic.
