A pair of great items relating to the great Muhammad Ali is offered here. 1) A baseball cap from the 1976 Ali-Norton III fight held at Yankee Stadium is in EX condition but for a few splotches of white paint and a small stain on the bill. 2) The two fighters depicted by the statute resemble Muhammad Ali and Leon Spinks and feature Ali leaning back in his rope-a-dope maneuver. It was done by artist Greg Wyatt and has a typed caption on the bottom of the base "Study for 'Battle of New Orleans' Cast Pewter," which lists the artist and date. Measuring 7x7x3", this was done for the 1978 Ali vs. Spinks bout, is in EX condition and was limited to 125 pieces.
