On May 21, 1965, Sonny Liston held a public workout at the Mansion House in Poland Spring, Maine, just four days before his heavyweight championship rematch with Muhammad Ali. The event drew a standing-room-only crowd into the hotel’s main dining room, where fans and reporters gathered to watch Liston’s final preparations.

This rare colorized footage captures the atmosphere surrounding the controversial buildup to Ali vs Liston II, a bout later remembered for its short duration and enduring mystery. At the time, Liston was focused, physically sharp, and eager to reclaim the world title he had lost the year before.
