SUGAR RAY LEONARD V LALONDE – fight poster – Nov 1988

Item Number:  1969

On November 7, 1988 Leonard came out of retirement for a second time and fought Don Lalonde. He picked himself up off the canvas and knocked out Lalonde in the ninth round to win two world titles in one fight, the newly created WBC super middleweight championship, and Lalonde's WBC light heavyweight championship.

This arrangement was somewhat controversial because light-heavyweight LaLonde had to weigh-in at or below the super-middleweight limit of 168 pounds.

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 83cm by 67cm.

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 a legend of the ring, Sugar Ray Leonard.
