HISTORY: 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-adope" 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 a rare, original, official program for this event. Owned by a member of the press who attended the fight.
FULL DESCRIPTION: This is an original, official program which names and pictures both fighters on the cover. 16 pages complete including covers in English and French. Tight binding. Neatly scored. Mild center fold. Not torn. Minor toning on covers from aging. Name of press member who owned program neatly written in faded ink at top right hand corner of front cover. Clean without staining. 8 1/4" x 11 1/4." There are numerous reproductions of this program which have been sold as originals, but there are very few real programs to this event offered. We have had a few. This is certainly one of the better examples we have had.
