Bid to win this irreplaceable piece of boxing history— a rare, red Everlast boxing training glove, hand-signed by boxing icon Muhammad Ali!
Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Clay, 1942–2016) is recognized as one of the most significant and celebrated sports figures of the 20th century. Ali defeated every top heavyweight in his era, during "the golden age" of heavyweight boxing.
Muhammad Ali has personally hand-signed this red Everlast training glove, in bold black marker. Most of the gloves signed by Ali in his long boxing career were standard boxing gloves; this collectible is a training glove, less bulky and narrower in profile, affording its user more control and definition during training.
Muhammad Ali's signature has been examined and determined to be authentic James Spence Authentication (JSA). The glove is accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from JSA.
After winning the Gold Medal for boxing light heavyweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome at the age of 18, Ali (then still know as Cassius Clay) turned professional later that same year. At age 22 in 1964, he won the WBA, WBC, and lineal heavyweight titles from Sonny Liston. Recognized as one of the leading heavyweight boxers of the 20th century, Ali remains the only three-time lineal heavyweight champion, having won the title in 1964, 1974, and 1978. He is the only boxer to be named The Ring magazine Fighter of the Year six times. He was ranked as the greatest athlete of the 20th century by Sports Illustrated, the Sports Personality of the Century by the BBC, the third greatest athlete of the 20th century by ESPN SportsCentury, and named one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century by Time magazine. Known as "The Greatest", Ali made sports and boxing history in boxing matches which were viewed around the globe, including the first Liston fight, the "Fight of the Century", "Super Fight II", "Thrilla in Manila" versus his rival Joe Frazier, and "The Rumble in the Jungle" versus George Foreman.
Brilliant and inspiring, Ali was a true modern icon, both in the ring and in the world.
