Ultimate Muhammad Ali Site Program Collection (32) *

The ultimate Muhammad Ali site program collection, consisting of 32 site programs from Ali’s greatest bouts, including: 1) Ali vs. Foreman: Incredibly rare program from one of the greatest bouts in the history of professional boxing. Remembered by most as the ‘Rumble In The Jungle’, the fans present that October 30th, 1974 in Zaire witnessed what was probably Ali’s greatest performance against the very formidable George Foreman. One of a handful known. Entirely in French, with minor wrinkling around the edges and one corner crease, EX. 2) Liston vs. Clay: Official site program from the Miami Beach Convention Center, Tuesday, February 25, 1964, the night the legend of Muhammad Ali was born. Completely intact and clean from cover to cover, with minor edge wear and corner creases, overall EX+. 3) Berbick vs. Ali: The original program from the last professional bout of Muhammad Ali a.k.a. the ‘Drama In Bahama’, December 11, 1981. Though he would lose that night in a ten round decision to future champion Trevor Berbick his legacy stills shines brighter than any of those before or after him. Minor edge and corner wear, EX-MT. Ex-Paloger Collection. 4) Ali vs. Lewis: Scarcely seen program from Croke Park, Dublin and the "The Big Fight" of July 19, 1972 which saw Ali KO Lewis in the 11th round. Top to bottom fold at center, light edge wear, EX+. 5) Ali vs. Frazier III; Known by most as the "Thrilla in Manila" the Ali-Frazier III bout was much more than a battle between two men, it was an epic battle for the ages.

Cover is completely severed along the binding, otherwise VG. 6) Ali vs. Bugner: Full color site program from the Heavyweight Title bout between Ali and Joe Bugner July 1, 1975 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Spotless from cover to cover with only minor edge wear, EX-MT. 7) Ali vs. Coopman: On February 20, 1976 Muhammad Ali successfully defended his heavyweight title dominating Jean Pierre Coopman through five rounds in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

The rare official site program from that evening is unscored with two left to right creases from folding, otherwise EX. 9) Clay vs. Patterson: On November 22, 1965 in front of the crowd at Las Vegas Convention Center Cassius Clay successfully defended his title against Floyd Patterson .
