Vintage photograph of Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston weighing in shortly before their heavyweight rematch on May 25, 1965. Stamp of the "Lewiston Sun-Journal" on the verso. Ali's historic defeat of Liston in 1964 led to a highly publicized 1965 rematch at the Central Maine Youth Center in Lewiston, Maine. The fight's controversial endingin which Ali downed Liston in the first roundremains one of the quickest heavyweight title knockouts in history. From the archive of the PIX Agency, an American photo house that acted as an intermediary between emigre photographers (as well as those still living in Europe) and the American magazine and newspaper market between 1935-1969. 10 x 8 inches, archivally mounted in a white mat measuring 14 x 18 inches. Near Fine.

Vintage borderless oversize satin finish photograph of boxing legends Muhammad Ali and Joe Bugner sparring at a gym in New York on June 27, 1970. Stamp of "Daily Mirror" on the verso. Bugner and Ali famously faced off in 1973 in Las Vegas, with Ali defeating the Australian heavyweight fighter in a close 15-round match. From the archive of the PIX Agency, an American photo house that acted as an intermediary between emigre photographers (as well as those still living in Europe) and the American magazine and newspaper market between 1935-1969. 14.5 x 10 inches, archivally mounted in a white mat measuring 20 x 16 inches. Near Fine.

Condition: Very good. First edition. Rare program for Muhammad Ali's legendary rematch against Sonny Liston, signed as "Muhammad Ali" shortly before the bout, only a year after he took the name and additionally signed by three other heavyweight champs present at Ali's training camp: Joe Louis, Jim Braddock, and Jersey Joe Walcott. Ali's swift and crushing defeat of Sonny Liston in the first round of their second title fight in May of 1965 remains not only one of the most iconic moments of Ali's storied career and of boxing history but also in all of sports. An almost 2-1 underdog, Ali's knockout after less than two minutes was famously captured in photographer Neil Leifer's legendary image of Ali towering over the fallen Liston. It remains one of the greatest sports photographs ever taken. The fight's status today, however, is belied in many ways by the humble circumstances of its original context. Postponed due to Ali's hernia surgery, it was then rescheduled in the small industrial Maine town of Lewiston partially because it was the one of the few arenas procurable on short notice, but also because major venues were reluctant to be associated with Ali, who was increasingly seen as a draft dodger. The fight was sparsely attended: by most accounts only about 2500 of the roughly 4500 seats in the Lewiston high school hockey rink were filled that night. Thus surviving examples of this program are scarce. Prior to the bout, Ali had holed up at the Schine Inn in Chicopee, MA to train, talk to the media, and receive well-wishers. On May 20, 1965, five days before the fight, he hosted three fellow champions: the "Brown Bomber" Joe Louis, Jim Braddock, and Jersey Joe Walcott (who would also be the referee for the match), where all four of these signatures were gathered (the original owner noting as much above the signatures of Louis, Braddock, and Walcott). The program also reflects the confusion, controversy, and outright resistance surrounding Ali's recent name change. (At the start of the fight itself, the boxer was booed by the Lewiston crown when the ring announcer introduced him as "Muhammad Ali.") Ali is referred to throughout the program as both Cassius Clay and Muhammad Ali (and sometimes both at once). Ali had taken the name only the previous years after an address by Elijah Muhammad conferred him with the honorific (meaning "most high one worthy of praise"). This signature, therefore, represents one of the verifiably earliest "Muhammad Ali" autographs and on the program (and at the training camp) for one of his most famous matches. A rare document, linking Ali not only to the great Black boxers who immediately preceded him, but capturing him at the very cusp of his popular transformation from heavyweight champion to civil rights leader, anti-war activist, and ultimately legendary humanitarian. A totemic object from the career of one of the 20th century's most famous, important, and influential figures. 11'' x 8.5''. Original black-and-white pictorial wrappers with red and blue elements, saddle-stapled. Illustrated in black and white. [8] leaves. Signed by Ali in blue ink to verso of first leaf, over his image. Additionally signed by Joe Louis, James Braddock, and Jersey Joe Walcott to blank verso of third leaf, below the holograph caption (likely original owner's): "The Schine Inn / May 20 1965." Wrapper with a bit of toning, tiny area of discoloration to lower staple; careful narrow glue repair to upper spine, very close inspection only. Leaves with a touch of toning. Else clean and sound.

Original transcript of David Frost's interview with Muhammad Ali and Roosevelt "Rosey" Grier from Season 1, episode 8 of the 1969-1972 television show, which aired on Group W television stations on July 16, 1969. Single annotation in manuscript pencil on the first page, underlining Ali's birth name, "Cassius Clay," in the script title (Ali abandoned his birth name in 1964, upon entry into the Nation of Islam). In addition to Ali and Grier, the episode featured interviews with actors Gloria Loring, Jerry Shane, O.C. Smith, actor and athlete Johnny Weismuller, and journalist Alden Whitman. Ali and Grier were principal guests (the transcript is only of the Ali and Grier interviews). Just over the first half of the transcript is Frost's interview with Ali, focusing largely on the topic of race in the US, current boxing matches (from which Ali had been barred from 1967 till 1970 due to his refusal to be conscripted into the Vietnam War), and Ali's relationship with the Nation of Islam. The second half is Frost's interview with both Grier and Ali, the conversation again largely focusing on race in the US. A fascinating interview of Ali during his exile from boxing, and an exceptional snapshot of a particularly incendiary period of US history. Self wrappers. 20 leaves, with last page of text numbered 20. Spirit duplication, rectos only. Pages Near Fine, with light fading to outer right edge, bound with staple to upper left corner.

Small 4to (140 x 120 mm). 1 page. Written in blue pen. A rare, early signature. From the estate of the late Franz-Peter Bach of Wolfsburg, an avid autograph collector of many years. Bach began collecting in the 1980s, following music tours in Germany as well as attending swap meets in Hanover, where he would not only exchange autographs, but also acquired addresses of celebrities, to whom he would then apply for signatures directly. His collection was meticulously collated, and the present item has been dispersed from one of his many albums. - Includes a tipped-in photograph on card, previously on the opposite page of the presentation album from which the signature was dispersed.
