Elmo Henderson

Elmo Henderson born April 8, 1935 is an AfricanAmerican former boxer from Texas. Despite his 1972 win against Muhammad Ali in an exhibition match in San Antonio, Texas, he did not become particularly well known in the boxing community John Spong of the Texas Monthly said that the match was the shot not heard round the world.

As of 2003, Henderson was a homeless man in Austin, Texas. Now in 2015, Henderson lives in a care home in Northern California.
