When Muhammad Ali refused to enter the army he was stripped of his heavyweight title. The World Boxing Association chose eight men to compete in an elimination tournament to determine Ali's successor. Jerry Quarry was one of the eight chosen. In his first tourney bout he was pitted against Patterson. Jerry got the verdict. In his next match, Quarry squared off against tournament favorite, Thad Spencer. Spencer defeated ex-W.B.A. Champ Ernie Terrell, and was now the favorite to win the tournament. Jerry proved the experts wrong, stopping Spencer in round twelve.
