Ken Norton RC?
 
I am trying to figure it out. Earliest card I can find is a menko-style card from Malaysia ca. 1975-76.

Maybe 1976 Panini Goofy Sport.

Doesn't look goofy to me.

Does the Malaysian card have his name on it?

I like that Ken Norton! Nice card.

None of the Malaysian cards have writing on the fronts other than some have numbers. This is typical:

A fun one from Ali-Foreman:

There were several issues of this sort: I think they were all made to capitalize on the Ali-Bugner fight in Kuala Lumpur in 1975.

Why is that issue called goofy sport?

The album for the card set was licensed by the Walt Disney company. The cartoon charactor Goofy was used as a mascot for the album.

So it is Goofy sport, not goofy sport. Got it.
