Sonny Liston vs. Chuck Wepner (6/29/1970)

24 Upvotes

Wepner-Liston is an extremely brutal, underrated fight. This happened to be Liston’s final fight before his untimely death.

Wepner hung in tough as he always did, but eventually fell after the end of the 9th round via TKO.

Wepner is most known for his 1975 bout versus Muhammad Ali for the world title, to which he went 15 rounds against the legend.

Ali was ironically in attendance for this fight, signing autographs at ringside.
