Pugilist, Painter, Poet, Performer: The Many Sides of Muhammad Ali
"Ali Frazier Oct-1-75" Painting in watercolor with pencil outline by Muhammad Ali
Donated by the LeRoy Neiman Foundation in 2017.
The Thrilla in Manila
This artwork served as Muhammad's prediction for his third and final fight against Joe Frazier, otherwise known as the "Thrilla in Manila." It includes a note written in the bottom left corner that lets us know this would be round 3 of the fight and that it was created on September 30, 1975. Frazier is pictured with what looks to be a bloody nose, while much of the crowd of fight-goers are not painted.
