Joe Frazier vs. Muhammad Ali Dual signed Frazier Limited edition presentation
Supporting Zoe`s Place Hospice


This great item of signed Joe Frazier Memorabilia pays tribute to his remarkable career and his trilogy of fights with Muhammad Ali.

The presentation consists of a full size Everlast glove and a 16" by 20" print that shows Frazier knocking Ali down in the 11th round on the way to beating Ali in 1971, The Fight of the Century. At the signing, Frazier commented that to this day he never knew how Ali beat the count, as it was the hardest punch he had ever landed!

Each personally signed by Joe and they are displayed in a box frame with a stunning surround, dual mounts and a plaque, measuring in at a large and impressive 97cm by 55cm.

Part of an exclusive closed signing that took place on Tuesday 26th May 2009, both are supplied with a photo of Joe signing.

Joe Frazier was a remarkable fighter and the only man that Ali was genuinely frightened of, hence his bitter and sometimes extreme verbal abuse of Frazier. To this day Frazier maintains that he could have come out for the final round in the third fight, Thrilla in Manila, and such was his anger with his trainer Eddie Futch for throwing in the towel that he never spoke to him again.
