After two grueling 12-round bouts resulted in one victory for each, Muhammad Ali and Ken Norton squared off in no less than Yankee Stadium for their penultimate battle on September 28, 1976. This is a rare variation on-site poster from that epic battle as the two heavyweights met in battle. The poster features a black background with Ring Magazine belt across the middle and a head shot of each fighter on the side panels and it reads, "World Heavyweight Championship Fight" in the center. Measuring 24x36" this paper poster is in NRMT condition - it's hard to find one of these at all, let alone in this shape. After the first two bouts were split decisions, Ali retained his titles in the final battle on a close points decision.
