On May 25, 1965, World Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali defended his title for the first time against the man he had won it from a little over a year earlier, Sonny Liston. Ali won a controversial fight, stopping Liston in the first round. This is an original photograph of Ali and Liston at the weigh-in, taken by noted sports photographer Neil Leifer. It is signed on the white portion. Numbered 1 of 150. Bold color and a terrific image. Virtually flawless. 16" x 20". LOA from Neil Leifer on the photograph. Scarce and seldom-seen unless purchased directly from the photographer.
