Former world heavyweight boxing champion Smokin' Joe Frazier, who held the world title between 1970 and 1973 and fought three epic battles with Muhammad Ali, has died at the age of 67.
The first of the three fights with Ali – dubbed ‘The fight of the century’ – saw Frazier unify the world title. However, Frazier lost the other two fights, including the famous ‘Thrilla in Manila’, considered the greatest fight of all time.
