Original closed circuit boxing poster to promote viewings of the Ali -V- Wepner fight in 1975 and the scheduled Norton -V- Bonavena fight in 1974.
The boxing match between Ken Norton and Oscar Bonavena was scheduled to take place on December 14 1974 in St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia. The show was cancelled when the show promoters in Australia could not come up with the money.
Muhammad Ali and Chuck Wepner fought each other in a boxing match on March 24, 1975, at the Richfield Coliseum in Richfield Township, Summit County, Ohio. This was Ali’s first boxing bout after reclaiming the heavyweight championship from George Foreman in The Rumble in the Jungle. The fight was billed as Give the White Guy a Break. Ali won the fight after he knocked out Wepner in the fifteenth round. The fight is notable for being among the four fights in which Ali was officially knocked down in the ring, and for inspiring the 1976 film Rocky [Wiki].
