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. The exhibition was a failure by George’s standards. Although victorious, the five victories were trivialized by Howard Cosell and Ali, and Foreman came off as a disturbed ex-champion rather than a legitimate challenger to Ali. Offered here is an original, cardboard, on-site poster for the event. Bold color and print with clear images. Clean front and back. Not creased or torn. Minor edge wear. 14 x 22 1/2". Rare version.
