From the start of his path to the top of the world, signed glove is an unbelievable relic, marking the beginnings of true greatness. Predicting his future feat at the 1960 Rome Olympic Games, Cassius Clay signed, in black ink on this glove, “From Cassius Clay 1960 Next Olympic Boxing Champion”. Not just a cocky teenager, he backed up his words with brilliance and dominance, time and time again thereafter. He took home the gold that summer with ease, beating the Polish fighter, Pietrzykowski. A fantastic piece, with a perfect signature, capturing the true spirit of Muhammad Ali, for which he is eternally worshipped. “JC Higgins 1417” stamped onto palm side.
