Ali Foreman On-site Poster
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-a dope" 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. Here is the original on site poster designed for this fight, entitled From Slaveship To Championship. This poster was eventually replaced as the on site poster because of the controversy caused by picturing Africans in chains. Professionally linen-backed with some restoration at edges not affecting images. Clean with no stains. A rare beauty. 24.75x38".
