The boxing match between the two heavyweight champions Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier went down in history as »Fight of the Century«. It was the first time that two hitherto undefeated boxers fought each other for the heavyweight title. Frazier won in 15 rounds by points. It was the first fight of a trilogy, the following both won by Ali.
