Heavyweight Championship


Just days after refusing to report for induction into service to fight in the Vietnam War, Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali takes on top-rated challenger Zora Folley in the first Heavyweight title fight in Madison Square Garden in almost 20 years. Ali dances for the first two rounds before dropping Folley on his face with a whistling right hand in the fourth round. Folley makes a stand in round seven but face plants again after two clean right hands. The challenger nearly makes it back to his feet but collapses into a corner as he is counted out in what becomes Ali's last fight for three and a half years.
