Sports event poster publicizing the Michael Dokes vs. Gerrie Coetzee professional boxing match on September 23, 1983.

This image is of a poster, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher or the creator of the work depicted. It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of posters to provide critical commentary on the film, event, etc. in question or of the poster itself, not solely for illustration on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Fair use true

Though this image is subject to copyright, I feel its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. It is a historically significant promotional poster of an extremely notable sports event.
2. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
3. The image is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject(s) of this article and the sporting event promoted in the image
