Joe Frazier was an amazing guy.
He gradually went blind in one eye but kept it quiet in case they took his boxing licence away.
So when he fought Ali he only had one eye.
When his good eye was closed he fought the rest of the fight blind, and no one knew.
He never talked about it until after he retired.

In the UK, Ali was more popular because Brits like boxers more than fighters.
That’s why Marvin Hagler would never allow a British judge at any of his fights.
Americans prefer aggression in fighters, but Brits prefer style
