This lot features an attractive oversized "Thrilla in Manilla" 20x22 photo signed by boxing legends Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier in silver marker. Very rare photo signed by the 2 legendary boxers. The Thrilla in Manila was the third and final "rubber" match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier on October 1st, 1975. The bout is consistently ranked as one of the best in the sport's history and was the culmination of a three-bout rivalry between the two fighters that Ali won, 2–1. The fight was watched by a record global television audience of 1 billion viewers, including 100 million viewers watching the fight on closed-circuit theatre television. Authentic dual-signed photos of Ali and Frazier together are extremely hard to find and have gone up significantly in value.
