Very rare ticket stub from the rematch between Muhammad Ali and Henry Cooper on May 21, 1966, at Arsenal Stadium. Pink full ticket measures 5.5x3.5" and is clean with no notable blemishes evident. Encapsulated by PSA as STUB EX-MT 6; while approximately 46,000 fans were in attendance at this bout, this is one of just seven such stubs listed in the PSA POP report, with only three grading higher. Ali - then fighting as Cassius Clay - defeated Cooper in their first bout, which was stopped in the 5th round, but the fight was notable as Cooper stunned his opponent with a 4th round knockdown in which many believe only the bell saved the man who would be known at The Greatest. In the rematch, Ali took his feisty foe more seriously, delivering another TKO when the referee stopped the contest in the 6th round due to a cut over Cooper's eye.
