FBI believed Ali fight fixed by mob 50 years ago...

washingtontimes.com

Maybe it wasn’t such a shock, as 4-decade-old documents released to The Washington Times under the Freedom of Information Act show the FBI suspected the fight may have been fixed by a Las Vegas figure tied to organized crime and to Liston. The documents show no evidence that Ali was in on the scheme or even knew about it. And nothing suggests the bureau ever fully corroborated the suspicions it investigated.

The FBI documents released to The Times are the most detailed information to date about suspicions of a fix in the first Clay- Liston fight, though they are likely to only continue the debate and not resolve it.
