HOLMES v HOLYFIELD – Class of Champions Fight poster June 92

Item Number:  1935

On June 19 1992 Larry Holmes at the age of 43 challenged Evander Holyfield for the Heavyweight Championship of the World.

After he decided on a come-back, Holmes won a series of build-up fights but age finally took its toll as Holyfield successfully defended his undisputed heavyweight championship by unanimous decision. This signalled the end for Holmes who again retired from the sport.

This is an original poster from the fight that has recently been re-framed in a tasteful black wood surround and measures in at a large and impressive 114cm by 81cm.

It originates from a large private collection of boxing posters and is presented in good condition. A super item of one-off boxing memorabilia from two legends of the ring.
