Ali Knew It Was Over After Spinks Rematch
Muhammad Ali, at 37, reflects on his famous September 15 1978 win over Leon Spinks in New Orleans that sealed his third heavyweight crown and signaled his retirement from competitive boxing. He recounts fatigue belief and a kiss to the crowd as he accepted the decision and refused a $50 million offer to fight Larry Holmes, planning exhibitions instead. Ali’s future plans, a Denver exhibition against Lyle Alzado, and a $250 000 payday are noted.
