NABF Heavyweight Title
March 31, 1973
Ken Norton is held aloft while celebrating his shock upset win over Muhammad Ali.
Ken Norton (29-1-0, 23KO) wins the NABF Heavyweight title after defeating Muhammad Ali (41-1-0, 31KO) by split decision.
Ali was outmaneuvered by Norton’s unorthodox fighting style, which involved jabbing from below and using a cross armed guard for defense. At the final bell, Norton won on a split decision. Soon after the fight, Ali was treated in hospital for a broken jaw, an injury sustained in the last round of the contest.
“Imagine you have your jaw broken and have to fight ten more rounds.” – Muhammad Ali after the fight
