Greg Page vs. Tim Witherspoon, billed as True Vindication was a professional boxing match contested on March 9, 1984, for the vacant WBC heavyweight title.
The victory put Page in line for a title shot against the winner of the fight between reigning WBC heavyweight champion Larry Holmes and challenger Tim Witherspoon.
[6] Holmes then opted to make a title defense against Scott Frank before facing Frazier stating he would "get around to Page" after the holidays if the "deal was right".
"[8] After defeating both Frank and Frazier, Holmes was still unable to come to terms with Page and on December 11, 1983, officially relinquished the WBC heavyweight title in favor of recognition from the newly-formed IBF.
"[10] The two fighters fought a relatively close but lackluster fight and appeared sluggish as the fight went on leading to crowd to boo the lack of action, though Witherspoon served as the aggressor throughout and did just enough to earn a majority decision victory.
Holmes criticized the performance of both men telling media "I always told you neither of them could fight."
