Muhammad Ali Vs. Joe Bugner programme

This programme was presented by Viewsport live from Las Vegas on the night of Wednesday 14th February 1973.

Although the scorecards were lopsided, Bugner fought well and he won the respect of the boxing media and public alike.

Programme - Randolph Turpin v Walter Cartier (March 1953)

I've had this programme for promoter Jack Solomons' middle weight contest for a few years and hadn't paid it much attention until recently. In fact, I had not even noticed the signatures on the inside cover of the programme.


Having studied these, I can make out the autograph of Randolph's brother - Dick Turpin, as well as the writer Peter Wilson. There are three other signatures here that I can only partially read (I think one of them may be Jack Solomons) - If you recognize any of these please leave me a comment using the link below.

In the headline fight, Walter Cartier was disqualified in the second round for holding - you can read a full review of the bout here.
