Description
Terrible Tim Witherspoon comes to Clydach, Swansea to give you the chance to hear his side of the story. Hear about his climb to WBA and WBC heavyweight champion, and his time as a sparring partner for Muhammed Ali. Here is your chance to put your questions to Tim. Genuinely the chance of a lifetime. A real story to tell the grandchildren.
Known as “Terrible” Tim during his long career (the nickname given to him by the incomparable king of all kings, Muhammad Ali), Witherspoon also has some story to tell. And the Philadelphian, now in his late fifties yet looking years younger, tells all. Witherspoon, who briefly held both the WBC and WBA heavyweight titles, experienced just about as much as is imaginable for any prize fighter. Yet through all the bad times (and there were good times too), Tim has come out of it all pretty much unscathed. One of the lucky ones perhaps?
Witherspoon on his epic fight with Holmes:
“Larry Holmes jumped over a chair to try and get at me (in 1983, ahead of their world title fight won by Holmes via 12-round split decision) and he also threw a towel in my face. But they never let it get out of hand, but if it had it would have been more publicity for the fight and we’d have sold more tickets!
“I was a young kid in that fight, and I didn’t really know what was happening. That fight came real quick in my career (just 16 bouts in). I asked my team ‘Are we really going for the title already?’ But I took him to a real close split decision and a lot of people thought I’d won. Put it this way, nobody has ever told me I lost it. But he was real experienced, that was a big factor in the fight, that and because he was chasing Rocky Marciano’s record (of 49-0). That was great publicity and it was in all the papers. They weren’t going to let a young kid like myself come in and ruin that.”
