On Monday at 10 AM, Creative Philadelphia will unveil a Joe Frazier statue at its new permanent location near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where the former heavyweight champion famously trained on one of the city’s most visited destinations, attracting millions of visitors annually. Created by sculptor Stephen Layne and first installed in South Philadelphia in 2015, the statue honors Joe Frazier’s lasting contributions to the sport of boxing, the City of Philadelphia, and generations of athletes inspired by his legacy. Its relocation places the monument in one of Philadelphia’s most visited cultural destinations, ensuring that residents and visitors alike can continue to celebrate the life and achievements of one of the city’s greatest champions.  Frazier achieved boxing immortality by handing the great Muhammad Ali his first defeat and then engaging in two more battles vs. Ali, including the legendary Thrilla in Manila.
