The Boxing world mourns another sad loss today following the news that ‘Smoking’ Joe Frazier has lost his battle with Liver cancer. Reports in the last few days that the former Heavyweight Champion had moved in to a hospice were quickly followed by the news that he passed away last night.
Frazier defeated Muhammed Ali in 1971 but will be best remembered for the ‘Thrilla in Manilla’ against Ali in 1975.
