When Joe Frazier Boxed The Wild Animal Joe Bugner

In the red corner, standing a stocky 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing a lean 208 pounds the one and only, “Smokin’ Joe” Frazier! This was Joe’s first fight back after suffering a brutal, one-sided defeat at the hands of George Foreman. Across the ring, pacing with confidence sporting his big mop of hair and his trendy side burns, stood a towering figure. At 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing a solid 221 pounds, it was the Commonwealth’s finest heavyweight the late, great “Big Joe” Bugner.
