To commemorate the 60th anniversary of Ali vs. Liston 2 in Lewiston, the city hired acclaimed Philadelphia-based artist Zenos Frudakis to create a 10-foot-tall bronze statue to immortalize the moment when Ali delivered the "phantom punch" and Liston would not rise from the canvas. The statue was unveiled on May 31, 2025.
