Description: 1964 CASSIUS CLAY (Muhammad ALI) TKO's SONNY LISTON Vintage Original AP Press Boxing Wire Photo Available is this Outstanding Vintage Original February 25, 1964 AP Wire Photo of Challenger CASSIUS CLAY (Muhammad ALI) celebrating, as he wins the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE when SONNY LISTON could not answer the bell for round 7,at the Miami Beach Convention Center. CLAY crying out:"I SHOOK UP THE WORLD" The fight, began with CLAY, a 7-1 betting underdog, showing lots of movement, using his fast and effective jab and quick combinations. In the third round, CLAY opened up his attack that caused a bruise under LISTON's right eye and a cut under his left. After the fourth round, when CLAY returned to his corner, he started blinking wildly and complained that there was something burning in his eyes and that he could not see. ANGELO DUNDEE, CLAY's TRAINER, rinsed CLAY's eyes with a sponge and pushed him off his stool to begin the fifth round,telling him to stay away from LISTON. CLAY managed to survive the fifth round and by the sixth, his eyes had cleared and he resumed control of the fight. During the sixth, CLAY landed several effective combinations, seemingly at will. On his stool following the sixth round, LISTON told his cornermen that he couldn't continue, complaining of a shoulder injury. The result being CLAY (211 lbs) had then defeated LISTON (218 lbs) when LISTON retired and didn't come out for Round 7, making CLAY the NEW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD and the NEW LINEAL CHAMPION.
