This copy of the Evening News is from 19 June 1963, the day after Henry Cooper almost stopped the fighter then known as Cassius Clay .
Cooper managed to knock Clay flat on his back at the end of the fourth round, and the fight was eventually stopped in the fifth as Cooper was badly cut around one eye and a TKO was awarded to Clay.
I have several old newspapers in my collection that report on significant events from the world of boxing and I want to keep them in the best condition possible, so if anyone has some tips on the best way to preserve these, please leave me a comment.
