Item History
To honor Muhammad Ali during his historic 1974 London tour, the Anglo-American Sporting Club assembled an elite night of live professional boxing right inside the Hilton ballroom. The card was headlined by Chris Finnegan, one of Britain’s most beloved fighters of the era who had previously fought the legendary Bob Foster for the World Title. The card also features Phil Martin, who went on to become a highly influential trainer and community leader in Manchester boxing history. Because guests usually wrote the fight scores directly onto these pages during the live bouts, finding a copy with a completely clean, unmarked fight card is extraordinarily rare.
