Muhammad Ali, former World Heavyweight Champion, fought Bob Foster, World Light Heavyweight Champion, on November 21, 1972 in Nevada. The bout represented Foster's biggest purse as a fighter. Foster recounted years later when his corner asked him after the first round, "What's he got?" Foster replied simply, "Everything." Ali knocked Foster out in the 8th round to continue his comeback. Offered here is a scarce, original on-site cardboard poster mounted on heavy board. It exhibits edge and surface wear with some wrinkling and mild foxing from age. Boasting bold color and a clear image, it measures 14" x 22".
