Important fighters on the undercard included Jimmy Ellis, Ernie Terrell and George Chuvalo. The poster is cardboard measuring 17 ½” x 23”. Both fighters are pictured with bold images. There are small tack holes in the corners, minor soiling and one small stain. The only example of this poster to be offered at public auction to our knowledge.
