On April 26, 1975 at the Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens former heavyweight champion George Foreman in an attempt to demonstrate his invincibility after his loss to Muhammad Ali took on five different opponents on the same show. Howard Cosell presented the event as a farce, and the presence of Ali at ringside incensed Foreman, as typical Ali relentlessly taunted Foreman throughout his 5 bouts, at one point yelling to George, “You can whip these five men, but you can’t whip no one me!” Ali succeeded in stealing the show, focusing both the crowd’s and Foreman’s attention on himself, rather than the event. Offered here is a full, unused ticket for the fight. EX condition. PSA/DNA authenticated, but erred in calling ticket a stub. It is full.
