Programme for the 15th of August 1965 in Göteborg, Sweden where Ali boxed exhibition bouts. Programme was once owned by Norwegian pro Anders Haga who was a last minute substitute against Swedish bantam Jan Persson. Haga, who like many other fighters and fans at that time had little or no knowledge of Ali's political inclinations, wanted him to write " Cassius Clay " on the photo. Ali made no comments and wrote Muhammed Ali. In the mid-70's, Haga gave this item as a gift to --Tron 12:13, 26 May 2008 (UTC) since it didn't contain any photo and mention of Haga. And to Haga, the World Champion from Louisville who had beaten Liston the year before, would always be " Cassius Clay ".
