Lot Description
A 1970s Era Muhammad Ali Training Used / Worn Everlast Boxing Headgear
Famously known as the "Louisville Lip," Muhammad Ali spent many important years of his remarkable life as a resident of Chicago's South Side. The world's most famous athlete was also its most accessible — sharing both his time and treasures with many deserving individuals he met. Offered here is a prize sourced from the champ's days on the South Side: Ali's personal training-used Everlast headgear, used in preparation for one of his many memorable ring battles. This fresh-to-the-hobby black leather headgear features an Everlast label on the front with "Made Expressly For Muhammad Ali" underneath — solidifying use by boxing's greatest champion. An important and rare piece of fight history.
