Their first fight was held on February 25, 1964, in Miami Beach, Florida. Clay ( who changed his name after the fight to Muhammad Ali) won when Liston failed to answer the bell for the seventh round, stating he had a shoulder injury and Ali became the youngest boxer ever to take the title from a reigning heavyweight champion, until Mike Tyson won the title from Trevor Berbick.

Referee: Barney Felix

Scoring at time of stoppage:

Felix 57-57,

Bernie Lovett 58-56 (Liston),

Gus Jacobson 58-56 (Clay)
