Featured is the infamous photograph of the late great Muhammad Ali standing over a hurt Sonny Liston. This photograph captures the most memorable moment of the clash between the two boxers. The fight took place on May 25, 1965 and would see Ali emerge victorious as he had knocked Liston down almost one minute and a half into the first round. The fight was so quick that many thought that the fight could have been staged, which led to media controversy over the legitimacy of this bout. Nevertheless, this image would go one to become of the most recognizable images in all of sports history. This photograph comes matted and framed to the dimensions of 24 x 20 inches. Ali has autographed the piece in silver ink next to his image and has inscribed “1-21-88” This comes with a LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A04473).
