Worn by Muhammad Ali in the run up to his fight with Joe Frazier. The fight took place on October 1st, 1975 at Areneta Stadium, Manilla, where the two men were competing for the World Heavyweight title. Five years previously Frazier had won a fight, and now Ali was back to show the world who was boss. This time around, he was victorious, and though his fights always provided fantastic theatrical value, the lead-up could prove even better. Ali aptly named this heated fight 'The Thriller in Manilla' and mockingly referred to Frazier as the 'Gorilla'.

This vintage style t-shirt was handmade in Europe from the finest 140gsm cotton and individually crafted for a unique vintage feel. All Worn By garments are sweatshop free, ethically sourced and imported by sea in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint.
