This copy of the Big Fight was a souvenir from the South Wales Echo commemorating the June 67 rematch between Merthyr Tydfil boxer Howard Winstone and Cuban fighter Vicente Saldivar.
Saldivar dropped him in the 14th, but most still thought Winstone had done enough to win.
There was an outcry when referee Wally Thom, an old adversary of Eddie Thomas, raised the Mexican's hand in victory.
You can more details of the fight as well as Winstone's career here
