Muhammad Ali Signed 1970 Original Fight vs. Jerry Quarry Poster Inscribed "89" (Beckett)

Poster measures approximately 14" x 22" in size. Poster has been hand-signed and inscribed by Muhammad Ali (D. 2016).

On October 26, 1970 Muhammad Ali made his reappearance in the ring after a forced retirement of three and a half years, which stemmed from his refusal to accept induction into the armed forces. Despite the three-year layoff, Ali contracted to fight a very difficult fighter, "Irish" Jerry Quarry in his first fight back. Quarry was a seasoned veteran with a deadly punch and many observers thought Ali foolish for taking him on at the outset of his comeback. Those throwing cautionary signals were certainly surprised when Ali dominated the action and stopped Quarry in only three rounds in Atlanta.

The autograph includes an official Beckett Authentication Services hologram and matching LOA for authenticity purposes.
