FOREMAN, GEORGE-JOE FRAZIER II ON SITE POSTER (1976)

HISTORY: On June 15, 1976 at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York former heavyweight champions Joe Frazier and George Foreman squared off in an important heavyweight match. At stake was Foreman's NABF Title. In the first meeting of these two Foreman demolished Frazier to win the Heavyweight Title. In this rematch the outcome was the same. Frazier style of coming forward favored Foreman's awesome power and he knocked Frazier down twice in the 5th round before referee Harold Valan moved in to stop the action. Presented here is a very scarce on site poster to this event.

FULL DESCRIPTION: This is a paper, on site poster entitled The Gladiators which pictures both fighters in Roman garb. Professionally linen backed. Not creased or torn. The poster is clean and exhibits almost no fading. Minor restoration at edges. This same style poster was issued for the closed circuit viewing, but it is quite scarce as an on site poster. 14" x 22." A fine example.
