This full ticket is from the championship bout between then current World Champion Sonny Liston and challenger Cassius Clay at the Convention Hall in Miami on February 25, 1964. Cassius Clay would defeat Liston and take over as World Champion by the end of the evening. The ticket from the match that would send Clay into athletic super stardom was later signed by Muhammad Ali, commemorating the great fight. There is photo documentation capturing Muhammad Ali signing the ticket with his former namesake, Cassius Clay, in March of 1992. The ticket is in EX/NRMT condition and the black sharpie signature rates a 9 out of 10.
