Presented here is a black and white photograph of Muhammad Ali and Ken Norton. The duo had their trilogy fight in 1976 in Yankee Stadium in New York. Norton had edged out a decision win against Ali in their first fight, with Ali winning the second fight. Their third fight would finally settle the score. The two men would slug it out, and Ali would once again earn a decision victory over Norton solidifying his spot as the best Heavyweight fighter.
The presented piece was a promotional photograph that depicts Ali being chased around Yankee Stadium by Norton; both men wore boxing trunks, gloves, and oddly enough, dress shoes. The photograph is signed by Ken Norton in black ink on the right side of the picture. Included with this piece is a special cut signed by Ali and inscribed “June 24- 78”. The photograph is matted and framed standing 40 ½ x 35 inches and comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (T08429) for the Ali signature only and a STICKER ONLY from JSA (N99242) for the Norton signature only.
