Cassius Clay vs. Duke Sabedong was a professional boxing match contested on June 26, 1961.[1]

Background

Clay along with matchmaker Mel "Red" Greb, gave a local radio interview in hopes of drumming up interest for his Las Vegas debut.[2]

The fight

The fight went the full distance with Clay winning comfortably on points, despite Sabedong's usage of roughhouse tactics.[note 1]

Aftermath

The fight's special significance rests on Clay's interactions with Gorgeous George during the pre-match promotional activities related to the Clay-Sabedong bout, and also just after the fight. These interactions would shape Clay's behavior and mannerisms, particularly while promoting his future fights, for the rest of his boxing career.[5][6][7][8][9][10]

Notes

  1. ^ Sabedong was penalized twice and warned thrice during this fight for using tactics like throwing low blows and hitting after the break.[3][4]
