    The cause of Liston's death remains a mystery tbh. The police declared it a heroin overdose, yet Liston was known to have a phobia regarding needles. After winning the title, Liston at first refused to go on an exhibition tour of Europe when he was told he would have to get shots before he could travel overseas. All this prompted rumors that he could have been murdered by some of his underworld contacts.

    It's weird because he was negotiating to fight Chuvalo January 5th 1971, which is around 5-8 days after the time of his death. The reality is, we will never really know how he died.

    Lack of breath is what killed him. It does it to everyone.

    Food poisoning.

    Many boxing pundits refer to it as "the phantom lunch."







    (I know, I'm gonna' burn for that one. :shock: )
