Description : Here we have an original frank warren promotions poster for the WBO & IBF featherweight title unification bout held at the London 'Docklands' Arena, London, England on Saturday 8th February 1997.
UNBEATEN in 24 professional outings, Prince Naseem Hamed had defended his WBO world featherweight title four times prior to meeting IBF champion Tom Johnson in 1997, Hamed was aiming to prove himself the undisputed boss of the division. Naz opened a cut under Johnsons right eye in the eighth and a short left had him staggering backwards with a minute to go. He crashed home a right then a left but the stubborn IBF champ was still on his feet. A few more rights forced Johnson into a neutral corner and as he lurched forward, Hamed leaned back and exploded a monstrous left uppercut, stripping Johnson of his senses. Referee Rudy Battle waved it off at 2-27.
