1971 oversized photograph collection features two (2) fine examples (10x12" & 9x12") of Muhammad Ali sparring in preparation for his bout with Jimmy Ellis. Muhammad Ali, and Jimmy Ellis fought at the Astrodome in Houston on July 26, 1971. Ali won the bout through a technical knockout when the referee stopped the fight in the twelfth round. This was Ali's first match after the "Fight of the Century," and had originally been scheduled as a bout between Wilt Chamberlain, who had challenged him, then trained for the bout with Cus D'Amato, but later withdrew. Each photo comes with a PSA Type I LOA.
