“They fought three times, twice in the heart of New York City and once in the morning in a steamy arena in the Philippines. They went 41 rounds together, with neither giving an inch.
In their last fight in Manila in 1975, they traded punches with a fervor that seemed unimaginable among heavyweights. Frazier gave almost as good as he got for 14 rounds, then had to be held back by trainer Eddie Futch as he tried to go out for the final round, unable to see.
“Closest thing to dying that I know of,’’ Ali said afterward.”
The results: Frazier dies (relatively) young and Ali has severe brain damage.
Best of luck to your uncle!!!
I don’t know how Ali could be the reason for Frazier’s cancer but Frazier is definitely the main reason Ali has brain damage. Some even (rather cruelly) call his condition “Frazieritis”.
And thank you.
