His layoff was due to his refusal to be drafted into the United States Army and subsequent legal battles. It is the light of my consciousness as a Muslim minister and my own personal convictions that I take my stand in rejecting the call to be inducted in the armed services, Ali stated after refusing induction on April 28, 1967. I have searched my conscience and I find I cannot be true to my belief in my religion by accepting such a call. He was convicted of draft evasion on June 20, 1967. Ali was sentenced to five years in prison and fined $10,000, the maximum penalty for the offense. He remained free on a $5,000 bond while he appealed his conviction. Ali was also stripped of the World Heavyweight Championship by the New York State Athletic Commission and the World Boxing Association, systematically denied a boxing license in every state and stripped of his passport. • With the help of Georgia State Senator Leroy Johnson, Ali was able to get a boxing license from the Atlanta Athletic Commission in August 1970. On September 10, Ali signed to fight Jerry Quarry in Atlanta. Four days later, a federal judge ruled that Ali should be granted a boxing license in New York. The commission's contention that the recentness of Ali's conviction provides adequate basis for denying him a license is without merit, Judge Walter R. Mansfield stated. The commission's own records revealed that it had not made such a distinction in its disposition of other applications. • Ali stopped Jerry Quarry on a cut after three rounds on October 26. The following week, it was announced that Ali would fight Oscar Bonavena in New York City on December 7. • Ali and Bonavena were fighting for the NABF heavyweight title, which was declared vacant following the retirement of Leotis Martin. • Ali was guaranteed $200,000 against 42½ percent of all receipts. Bonavena was guaranteed $100,000 against 22½ percent of all receipts. • The fight was shown live on closed circuit TV in 150 locations. • Ali was a 6-1 betting favorite. • Bonavena entered the fight as the WBA's No. 1-ranked heavyweight contender. • Ali predicted he would stop Bonavena in nine rounds. He'll be mine in nine. • At a pre-fight physical examination, Bonavena asked Ali why he didn't join the Army. Ali told Bonavena that he would tell him during the fight's first clinch. Bonavena called Ali a big chicken and started making chicken noises. He then repeatedly called Ali by his pre-Muslim name. Clay ... Clay ... Clay, he said while laughing. Ali yelled to the crowd, Please! Tell everyone to get to your theaters. I have never had a man that I wanted to whup so bad! • A crowd of 19,417 at Madison Square Garden produced a gross gate of $615,401. • Going into the 15th round, Referee Mark Cohen had Ali ahead 12-2, Judge Joe Eppey had him in front 10-3-1, and Judge Jack Bloom had him leading 8-5-1. The Associated Press had Ali ahead 7-6-1. • Bonavena was knocked down three times in the 15th round, forcing an automatic stoppage under the three-knockdown rule. It was the only time Bonavena was stopped in his 68-fight pro career. • After the fight, Bonavena told Ali, Listen, champ, I strong, but you stronger. Frazier never win you. He then turned to the press and said, This is the champion. . . . He no Chicken. • Ali said, It was the toughest fight I ever had. • #muhammadali #knockout #highlights #ボクシング #головкин #拳擊 #boxing #boxeo #fight #pelea #argentina #usa #ملاكمة • @ElTerribleProduction • ALL COPYRIGHTS RESERVED TO TOP RANK BOXING AND WSC SPORTS GROUP
