Muhammad Ali vs. Ernie Terrell | Ring Talk with Lou Eisen

In this episode, Lou discusses Muhammad Ali vs. Ernie Terrell, a professional boxing match contested on February 6, 1967, for the WBA, WBC, NYSAC, and The Ring heavyweight championships. The fight went 15 rounds, with Ali winning through a unanimous decision.

Critically, according to Wiki, during a pre-fight interview in ABC studios, a physical altercation ensued between the two. Terrell called Ali by his birth name of Cassius Clay multiple times. Ali took immediate offense and interrupted Terrell, asking why he called him that; Terrell noted that Ali had introduced himself by that name when they first met which Ali denied. The situation quickly escalated and Ali said "my name is Muhammad Ali" and threatened to "make [Terrell] announce it in the center of that ring if [he] don't do it now."
