Leon Spinks upset Muhammad Ali OTD in 1978 to win the heavyweight world title in Las Vegas. Here's most of the 15th round, one of the great final rounds in the history of heavyweight title fights. VC: glashek

🙏 🥊 RIP TO THE HARDEST PUNCHER IN BOXING HISTORY, Earnie Shavers! He was part of our team for a good few years and many of you probably remember seeing him at our Planet Hollywood & Caesars locations over the years! We had some great moments & he will be certainly missed! 🌹
