ITEM DESCRIPTION

||||||||||
Successful middleweight boxer, Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, was jailed for a murder he did not commit. His plight was brought to the world's attention by a Bob Dylan song and a feature film. Here is a site poster advertising a bout against Johnny Smith at the LA Sports Arena June 24, 1964, before his tragic downfall. The 22.5 x 28" poster is in incredible condition with only minor toning around the outside edges. Super photos of both contenders and classic fight poster graphics.
