Dual-Signed Framed Boxing Photograph: Hand-Signed by Muhammad Ali & Joe Frazier ("Fight of the Century")
This entry showcases an authentic, primary-source piece of international sports history, heavyweight boxing lore, and athletic rivalries: a large-format color photograph of the historic 1971 "Fight of the Century," dual-signed by legendary World Heavyweight Champions Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier.
On March 8, 1971, undefeated champions Muhammad Ali and "Smokin'" Joe Frazier met at Madison Square Garden in New York City for what remains the most anticipated bout in combat sports history. Marking the first time two undefeated heavyweight titleholders fought for the undisputed championship, the grueling 15-round war culminated in Frazier floor-dropping Ali with a legendary left hook to secure a unanimous decision victory. The historic rivalry between Ali (1942–2016) and Frazier (1944–2011) spawned three iconic encounters, defining the golden era of heavyweight boxing and cementing both fighters among the greatest legends in sports heritage.
Presented in a custom black exhibition frame with double archival matting, the high-contrast action photograph captures Ali in red Everlast trunks exchanging blows with Frazier in green trunks mid-ring.
Across the light canvas surface of the ring floor, both Hall of Fame fighters have rendered bold autographs in blue and black felt-tip ink:
-
Muhammad Ali: Signed "Muhammad Ali" in dark blue ink centered directly beneath his legs.
-
Joe Frazier: Signed "Joe Frazier" in black ink beneath his stance in the lower right corner.
Accompanied by an official Certificate of Authenticity issued by Steiner Sports Marketing (
#01892), signed by company founder Brandon Steiner, guaranteeing the genuine status of the autographs.Preserved in fine, ready-to-display archival condition within its custom black frame, featuring rich color saturation, clean glass, crisp double matting, and two bold signatures, this signed photograph display serves as an essential centerpiece for boxing archivists, sports memorabilia collectors, and championship history exhibits.

Notes from the Consignor: This was such an iconic fight between two undefeated world champions (the very first time two undefeated champions fought). I can recall the massive pre-fight interest leading up to this fight – which was named “The Fight of the Century”. While individually, their signatures are not uncommon, having the signatures of “The GOAT” Muhammed Ali and "Smokin'’’ Joe Frazier together on such an amazing (and large) photograph for such an historic fight was what made me want this so much. And of course, both legendary fighters are long gone now.
