Ali Stops the Fight

from History Shorts · host History Shorts

Muhammad Ali, who had been stripped of his heavyweight titles in 1967 due to his refusal to be drafted into the Vietnam War, was making a strong comeback. It was June 27, 1972, and the world's arguably most famous boxer of all time was facing off against the heavyweight contender Jerry Quarry in their second match - the one where Ali stopped the fight in one of the most famous acts of sportsmanship. https://www.patreon.com/c/HistoryShortsPodcast CONNECT @ X Facebook YouTube Find us at www.historyshortspodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.
