On October 26, 1970 Muhammad Ali and Jerry Quarry fought for the first time at the City Auditorium in Atlanta, Georgia. Ali had been forced into a three year hiatus from the ring in 1967 for not entering the armed forces and this was his first fight back. Quarry seemed a tough test after such a long layoff, but Ali handled him with ease and stopped him on cuts in the third round. Presented here is a scarce on-site poster to the event which has been boldly signed in blue sharpie by both Muhammad Ali and “Irish” Jerry Quarry. This poster is paper in excellent condition with bold color and only minor soiling from handling and edge wear. The poster measures 24 x 36".
