One of the most contentious matches in the history Ali vs Liston.
One of the most contentious matches in the history of the sport was the World Heavyweight Championship bout between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston, which took place twice. The Liston-Clay bout from their first encounter was ranked as the fourth-greatest sporting event of the 20th century by Sports Illustrated.
On February 25, 1964, in Miami Beach, Florida, the inaugural match took place. As an 8-1 underdog, Clay pulled off a big upset victory when the champion quit at the start of the seventh round. On May 25, 1965, in Lewiston, Maine, Ali knocked out his opponent to win their second match. The iconic "phantom punch" and the referee's erroneous countdown raised questions of a fix and have been debated ever since.
