1970 Ali vs Quarry Fight Program& and Very Rare Original Ring Side Seat Ticket.
Nine months after political pressures related to his boycott of the Vietnam draft forced Ali to vacate his Heavyweight Championship, the controversial superstar announced that he had signed to fight Jerry Quarry in Georgia, which had no state commission. At the time, Ali's conviction for draft evasion was on appeal to the Supreme Court. The bout took place a month and a half after Ali's announcement, and despite the tremendous personal stress of a threat of long imprisonment, the former Champ worked his old magic, stopping Quarry in the third round at Atlanta's Municipal Auditorium.
We can not find another exmple of the very rare ring side seat ticket. Since the fight was not that large of an attendence the ring side seats where very limited!
