CASSIUS CLAY VS. DONNIE FLEEMAN POSTER
A rare cardboard site poster for Clay's fifth professional fight in Miami Beach on February 21, 1961. This fight was Clay's first main event. Fleeman was a veteran of forty-five fights and a 2 - 1 favorite. The bout was originally scheduled for ten two-minute rounds because of Clay's age, nineteen. Fleeman refused and the fight was changed to eight three-minute rounds. Clay and Fleeman are prominently featured. Some fading; the year "1961" was neatly written in (excellent to near mint)--14 x 22 in.
