In 1976, Muhammad Ali fought an exhibition match in Puerto Rico against local boxer “Cholito.” But history remembers the night for something entirely different: Iris Chacón, the Puerto Rican icon known as “La Vedette de América.”
Mid-fight, she entered the ring as part of the show — and even Ali, the most focused boxer in the world, couldn’t help but break concentration. The photo became legendary, capturing the exact moment the greatest boxer alive was outshined, if only for a second, by Puerto Rico’s most dazzling star.
