No, we have never seen this before, and that's because they printed so few of them. This March, 1960 issue of the hometown Louisville, Kentucky "Youth Boxing News" includes a fabulous page three photo article of Cassius Clay winning 1960 Golden Gloves and discusses his 3rd round TKO over Ronnie Craddock. He is strategically posed with "Officer" Joe Martin, a Joe Louis-like publicity move of the soon to be controversial African-American. Eight pages including covers. Brand new, with no creases and clean NRMT condition.
