On February 15, 1978, Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali defended his title against upstart Leon Spinks at the Las Vegas Hilton. Spinks had won a Gold Medal in the Light Heavyweight division during the 1976 Olympics, but this was only his eighth professional fight. Despite his obvious inexperience, Spinks gamely outfought an aging and out-of-shape Ali and won the title by 15-round decision. Offered here is an original and rare, thin cardboard on-site poster which pictures both fighters. Bold, clear images. Slight color fade from age. Not creased or torn. 14" x 22". Very seldom seen poster.
