The Phantom Punch That Shattered Boxing
from The Upset Files · host Podcaster
In 1965, a fight that lasted barely two minutes destroyed the credibility of an entire sport and turned America's most feared heavyweight into its most hated man. We dive into the toxic brew of organized crime, racial politics, and media manipulation that turned Sonny Liston vs. Muhammad Ali II into boxing's greatest controversy—and explore how one invisible punch created an upset that nobody could see but everyone felt.
