Arguably the most iconic moment in boxing history, the “Fight of the Century” refers to the first meeting between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali. The fight took place on March 7, 1971, at MSG in New York. After Ali had been banned from the sport for his refusal to join the military, Frazier became a rising force. When they met on this day, the two were both undefeated heavyweight champions, but something had to give. At the end of a grueling 15 rounds, Frazier won the fight with a unanimous decision. The fight between the two boxers was later replicated two more times, with Ali winning each of them.
