CIRCA 1980

Pair of white satin trunks with black trim have a large Everlast tag on the waistband with "Made Expressly for Muhammad Ali" text printed along the bottom. Just below is a size tag with "37" written on in vintage ink. An unusually large signature with handwritten inscription is across the front (occupying space on both side) and reads in full, "From Muhammad Ali, Three Time Heavy Weight Boxing Champion, Dec 21-1980, Service to others is the rent we pay for our room here on Earth." All is in black marker rating 8 out of 10. Trunks show use along with some general age/storage related toning, spotting, and light wear. Noted boxing expert Craig Hamilton has opined that these were most likely used by Ali when training for his 2October 1980 fight with Larry Holmes. Exceptional for display with note to the large and lengthy signature and inscription. Includes LOAs from JSA and Craig Hamilton/JO Sports: EX
