On July 30, 1959 in Cleveland, Ohio young amateur and future Olympic and world heavyweight champion Cassius Clay fought Art Toombs in a featured bout. Clay, rebounding from a loss at the hands of Amos Johnson, easily handled Toombs in quick fashion. Offered here is an original program for this bout. The program is 6 pages including the covers and includes a scorecard of the fights listed on the show, which were both boxing and wrestling. The program has a tight binding and is not creased. Generally clean with a minor cover stain. The only example of this program we have seen.
