Originally scheduled for September 20, 1955, the fight was postponed by one day due to inclement weather, making this ticket a tangible reminder of the drama that unfolded even before the first bell.

On September 21, 1955, World Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano faced the formidable Light Heavyweight Champion Archie Moore in a crowd of over 60,000 at Yankee Stadium.

In one of the most unforgettable nights in boxing history, Marciano was knocked down in the second round — only the second time in his career he would ever hit the canvas, before roaring back to floor Moore multiple times, ultimately winning by ninth-round knockout.

This night marked the final fight of Marciano’s illustrious career, a champion who would retire undefeated at 49-0, forever enshrined in boxing greatness.
