The trunks which exhibit wear, but are perfectly intact, were part of the collection of Ali's assistant trainer and long-time cornerman, Wali Muhammad who has provided an LOA for the trunks. Craig Hamilton of JO Sports, Inc. who researched the item expressly for Lelands auction has also provided an LOA.
