Nicknamed “The Greatest” and regarded as one of the most significant and polarizing sports figures of the 20th century, Muhammed Ali is frequently mentioned as the greatest heavyweight boxer of all-time. Holding the heavyweight title from 1964 to 1970 and winning Olympic gold in 1960, offered here is this framed display featuring a pair of Everlast boxing trunks that have been signed by Ali. A beautiful display that sports a large 16" x 20" image of Ali standing over Sonny Liston, perhaps the most famous photo in boxing, over the top portion, the white Everlast branded trunks, replicating the ones worn by Ali during the Liston bout, found below have been signed by Ali over the left thigh with a thin black marker ink signature that displays well despite some fading that is seen throughout its entirety and is heaviest at the beginning. Having had a hologram affixed over the bottom left of the trunks and featuring an image taken of Ali during the autograph signing penning his signature at the middle left portion of the display as well, everything is contained in a simple black metal frame that remains in good shape despite some wear to the corners and edges. With the main photo contained under a black velvet mattes inside the display itself with full dimensions coming in around 33 1/2" x 41 1/2", the piece comes accompanied by a JSA Auction LOA. Of note, due to the size and weight of the piece, special shipping arrangements may be required.
