Henry roughed up his opponent, and Clay, probably for the first time in his boxing life was bleeding from the nose.

 Sir Henry Cooper: Enduring, endearing and still going at it hammer and tongue - Independent Online Edition > Profiles
Cooper remains a sporting personality held in the highest affection even to this day, and not just because 'Enery's 'Ammer so famously put the then Cassius Clay on his pants, only for him to be saved by the bell back in the spring of 1963.
Cooper is as devastating in his condemnation of most modern fighters as he was when he had his opponents at the end of the left hook which made him one of the most effective one-punch finishers in the business, though he is impressed with Amir Khan.
Cooper continues to do the odd commercial but his time now, when not on the golf course, is spent after-dinner speaking.

 Baylor University || About Baylor || Oscar Henry Cooper (1899 - 1902)
Cooper's presidency, though lasting just a few months short of three years, was fairly productive.
His most notable achievements probably were the securing of increased recognition of Baylor's degrees by the prestigious "Eastern" universities and the acquiring from F. Carroll and his son, George W. Carroll, contributions of $75,000 each to construct a chapel and library building and a science hall.
Cooper apologized for his rash action, but according to Dawson "a gifted pugnacious youngster named J. Frank Norris led a sensational student uprising against him." The final result was the tendering of his resignation at a called meeting of the trustees.

It was on 18 June 1963 that Henry Cooper's left hand sent a young and up-and-coming boxer called Cassius Clay flat on his back in front of a packed Wembley Stadium.
If that was all there was to the story, Cooper could have few complaints about his subsequent defeat in the next round, but what followed was one of the most glaring controversies ever seen in boxing.

In 1865 the superintendent of the prison, Major Henry Wirz, was tried by a United States military court, convicted of murder, and hanged.
Cooper was not only "on furlough" in July of 1865, but also "at home in very poor health," (coupled with the fact that no pension was filed at a later date), leads me to believe that, Henry Cooper died soon after his return home.
If this Henry Cooper did not have a wife or other dependents at the time of his death, it would have been very unlikely that a pension would not have been tiled.
