EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photo captures the intense anticipation surrounding the Clay-Liston heavyweight title fight in Boston, Massachusetts on May 7,1965. Promoter Harold Conrad is seen seeking a new site for this highly anticipated rematch between Cassius Clay (later known as Muhammad Ali) and Sonny Liston. The original date set for the fight was May 25, but due to numerous legal problems, a new location had to be found. Outside a phone booth, reporters and cameramen anxiously wait for updates while Conrad engages in crucial communications. The monochromatic image showcases the era's vintage charm and highlights the significance of telephones as means of instant communication during that time. The photo exudes an atmosphere of suspense as flash bulbs illuminate the scene. With their cameras at hand, journalists eagerly await news from inside the coin-operated telephone booth where Conrad negotiates with potential venues. This snapshot offers a glimpse into boxing history and serves as a reminder of how sporting events were promoted in the sixties. It encapsulates both excitement and uncertainty surrounding one of boxing's most iconic matches. Captured by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), this print immortalizes an important moment in sports history without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any specific company.
