Ellis Returns to Ring in Madison Square Garden Clash
Former WBA champion Jimmy Ellis, now a challenger in the heavyweight ranks, renews his career at Madison Square Garden facing Ernie Shavers. Ellis, a Louisville fighter who once beat most heavies except Frazier and Ali, explains his renewed training discipline and mindset after past title losses. Dundee calls Ellis the best one punch belter among heavyweights, noting his late-career drive and fight with Quarry as contrast to top rivals.
