Ali Stops the Fight
Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
Muhammad Ali, who had been stripped of his heavyweight titles in 1967 due to his refusal to be drafted into the Vietnam War, was making a strong comeback. It was June 27, 1972, and the world's arguably most famous boxer of all time was facing off against the heavyweight contender Jerry Quarry in their second match - the one where Ali stopped the fight in one of the most famous acts of sportsmanship.
