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 for the second time. Ali employed a "rope-a dope" strategy of covering up on the ropes and letting Foreman hit him until he tired. The strategy worked as an exhausted Foreman could not rise after being hit in the 8th round. Offered here is an original, on site poster for this event which pictures Ali, Foreman and President Mobutu of Zaire.This original, paper, on site poster has been professionally linen backed. Bold color and print. Bold, clear images. Clean with no stains. Faint fold lines evident. Restoration on edges and on lines not affecting the images. Not creased or torn. 23x37.5". One of the most desirable of all Ali on site posters and this is the rarer, smaller version, perfect for display.
