View Event Photos

On February 25, 1964, Muhammad Ali (then Cassius Clay) made history when he defeated reigning heavyweight champion Sonny Liston in a match that took place at the Miami Beach Convention Hall.

Revisit one of the greatest upsets in boxing history through artwork, rare artifacts and never-before-seen photographs by Miami Herald photographers. Items on display include trainer Angelo Dundee’s corner kit, tickets, promotions and other event ephemera from the Hank Kaplan Boxing Archive at Brooklyn College Library, and paintings by Ferdie Pacheco, Ali’s former physician and cornerman.
