Ali Blasts Two Wrestlers in Bloody Exhibition
World heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali defeated Kenny Jay and Buddy Wolff in a pair of boxing wrestling bouts at the International Amphitheatre Chicago.

The spectacle included back and forth grappling with wrestlers absorbing blows as fans roared, while Ali predicted a future bout versus a Japanese wrestler and claimed a six million dollar payoff.
