Description: Black Everlast heavily padded boxing glove worn by ôSmokinö Joe Frazier in his training for the landmark first fight with Muhammad Ali (Ali/Frazier I). Initialed JF. Whenever great fights are spoken of, high on the list (if not in the top slot) is the remarkable first meeting between Smokin Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali. Given that the combatants entered the ring with vastly different political auras, the fight took on far greater meaning than simply a classic bout between two great pugilists. Taking place on March 8, 1971 in New York's Madison Square Garden, the fight truly proved to be a spectacle of the highest order. Tickets brought exorbitant amounts and were fought over almost as fiercely as the fight itself! The audience featured many of the biggest names in the worlds of sport and entertainment. The fight itself - a brutal affair - went the distance and was won by Joe Frazier. By winning, he retained his WBC and WBA world heavyweight championship crowns.
