Joe Frazier
Boxer; world heavyweight champion, the Fight of the Century
"A relentless fighter whose discipline and inner grit defined heavyweight history."
The life of Joe Frazier
Who was Joe Frazier?
Joe Frazier handed Muhammad Ali his first professional defeat at Madison Square Garden in March 1971, in a bout billed as the Fight of the Century. He won Olympic gold in 1964 and the undisputed heavyweight title in 1970, and fought Ali three times in all. Ali's mockery in the build-up to those fights wounded him lastingly, and he spoke about it for the rest of his life. He worked out of a Philadelphia gym, training fighters, long after retiring.
