The legendary boxers Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier have signed this Ron Lewis lithograph. The lithograph shows Ali and Frazier during their first fight, the mythical “Fight of the Century”, which took place at Madison Square Garden in 1971. Both fighters entered as undefeated heavyweight champions, but it was the battered Frazier who emerged from this 15-round slugfest as the unanimous victor. Ali and Frazier would fight twice more, in Ali-Frazier II and the “Thrilla in Manila”, with Ali winning both fights. Ali and Frazier have signed this lithograph in blue marker, with Lewis also adding his blue marker signature. This lithograph is a limited edition 217 of 300. The lithograph is presented in a 23 x 17-inch framed display. It is accompanied by a LOA from JSA (X10273).
