Muhammad Ali fought George Foreman on October 30, 1974, in Kinshasa, Zaire. Given little chance, Ali knocked Foreman out in the 8th round to win the World Heavyweight Title. Offered here is an original, illustrated fabric which advertised the fight. This fabric was made in Zaire at the time of the fight and women draped in the fabric can be seen in the movie about the fight, "When We Were Kings." This piece was brought back to the states by Angelo Dundee, Ali's trainer. Both fighters are pictured. It has slight color run. Measures 30x40" mounted on artist board with no tears, bold color and clear images. About as nice an example as you will find.
