  • Date: 1975-03-24
  • Location: Richfield Coliseum, Richfield, Ohio, USA
    • The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that a solid left hook stopped Green.
    • In his autobiography, Larry Holmes: Against the Odds, Holmes wrote the following:
    "On the night Ali fought Wepner, I was on the undercard against Charley "Devil" Green. Green talked big before the fight — how I had no heart, stuff like that. But like my ten previous opponents, he had a whole lot less to say afterward. I knocked him out in two rounds. Case closed, Charley Green."
