A BLAST FROM THE PAST

In the picture Ali, left and Ford are involved in an exhibition for the thousands of fans that flocked to see the legendary Ali during his brief visit here.

With the Guyana Boxing Association Patrick Ford Memorial boxing tournament set for this evening at the National Gymnasium, Stabroek Sports, as a mark of respect for the late Ford and also as an incentive for the young boxers who will be in action this evening, reproduces a photograph with Ford in action against `The Greatest’ the late Muhammad Ali, a former undisputed heavyweight champion of the world who visited Guyana in 1979.
