Description
1978 Muhammad Ali "Three Times World Champion" Ring. First there was Liston, a bruising underworld thug expected to detach the young Cassius Clay's head from his shoulders. Then there was Foreman, expected to do much the same at the famed "Rumble in the Jungle." And, finally, there was Leon Spinks, who claimed a fifteen-round decision in February 1978 to take the belt, and then surrendered it again in the August rematch to complete Ali's unprecedented trifecta.The regal design is dominated by a crown set within a black stone on the face, three diamonds representing each of Heavyweight Championship attained by boxing's greatest name. "M. Ali, World Champion Three Times" dances the perimeter of the face. Left shank, in Ali's celebrated hyperbole, announces "The Greatest Heavyweight World Champion." Right shank announces "Muhammad Ali, S. Liston-G. Foreman-L. Spinks, '64, '74, '78." Ring measures to a size 11.25 and weighs thirty-six grams (36g.). "Jostens 10k" is stamped on the inner band.
