Description

Muhammad Ali Ring Bell From Deer Lake Training Facility. Muhammad Ali maintained a training camp at Deer Lake, Pennsylvania for most of his career in the 1970's. Visitors often flocked to the camp to watch his public workouts. After Ali retired the camp closed and he gave away many mementos from the facility. One was the Bevin boxing bell used to start and end training activity. Offered here is a 12-inch high brass bell, with the original striker cord, that's in perfect working order. Ali presented this bell to the Sheriff of Deer Lake, Jim Taylor (who also worked security for the camp). In the LOA from Taylor he comments that Ali told him, "This bell called me more times than anyone." Also included is a LOA from Ali collector Pete Morkovin who purchased the bell from Sheriff Taylor. Here's a great opportunity to acquire a unique piece of boxing history from Ali's training camp. LOA from Craig Hamilton/ JO Sports.
