Lot 1604: Ali-Frazier "The Fight" Madison Square Garden Security Jacket and Press Kit
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
Five bodyguards assigned to usher in Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier for their first fight at Madison Square Garden in 1971 got windbreakers to mark their special status. Mustard nylon with black and white stripes across the chest has "THE FIGHT" in black felt silk-screen on the back. Excellent condition with some fraying at the snap-button pockets, vintage tagging and loose threading on the elastic wrists. Makes a great rare incidental to any boxing collection. In addition is a complete press kit from this historic March 18 championship slugfest.
