Lot #206:

Muhammad Ali Ultra Rare Original 1963 "Clay vs. Logan" On-Site Fight Poster in Custom Framed Display

It's the first example we've encountered of this supreme rarity, seven fights before Clay/Ali would shock the world with his underdog defeat of Sonny Liston in Miami. He's identified here simply as "Undefeated, 1960 Olympic Games Winner" above a rather prescient statement from another legend of the prize ring: "Jack Dempsey predicts title for him." The referee would stop this bout in the fourth due to a serious eye injury, and Logan later claimed his cornermen told him to use low blows against Clay but that he had refused to do so. The victory would be the thirteenth of Ali's historic career.

The card stock poster is lightly toned with some scattered staining, but it still presents beautifully, and absolute dream piece for the advanced Ali collector. Dimensions are 22x28". Framed.
