Bugunreal, Here is the brunt of the story.
It was on 18 June 1963 that Henry Cooper's left hand sent a young and up-and-coming boxer called Cassius Clay flat on his back in front of a packed Wembley Stadium.
It looked like Our 'Enry's 'Ammer had totalled the soon-to-become 'greatest heavyweight of all time' Muhammed Ali and the bout was as good as over.
But Cooper's punch had come in the dying seconds of the fourth round and Clay was literally 'saved by the bell.'
There is still a vivid picture in Cooper's mind of that tense moment.
"I remember the punch. I knew when I hit him he was in trouble, but unfortunately it was too late in the round," he recalls.
If that was all there was to the story, Cooper could have few complaints about his subsequent defeat in the next round,
but what followed was one of the most glaring controversies ever seen in boxing.

They did the business on the glove. I've had dinner with him (Dundee) a couple of times since then and he's openly admitted it

With Clay safely in the corner, trainer Angelo
Dundee informed the referee of a mysterious split that had appeared in Clay's glove.
Dundee was ordered to get another pair from the dressing room, leaving his fighter a precious few extra minutes to recover before the fifth round started.
For Cooper it was a confusing turn of events.
He admits: "My eye was badly gashed and I knew I was sitting in the corner for more than a minute, but we really didn't know what was going on."
Of course, years later, the truth came out that
Dundee had slashed the glove to give Clay more time.
