Ali vs Frazier
Heavyweight championship trilogy
Ali vs Frazier refers to the trilogy of boxing matches between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier from 1971 to 1975, widely considered among the greatest fights in heavyweight history.
The rivalry transcended sport—Ali's flash and political defiance against Frazier's blue-collar determination made their clashes cultural events.
The third bout, the Thrilla in Manila, is legendary for its brutal intensity.
