Description

Muhammad Ali 1978 Three Time Champion Robe In September of 1978 Muhammad Ali fought and defeated Leon Spinks at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. Ali had lost his World Heavyweight Title to Spinks just a few months before in February of 1978. When Ali was awarded a 15 round decision in September, he became the first man to win the World Heavyweight Title for a third time. To commemorate the event Ali was seen wearing boxing attire proclaiming his unique accomplishment. Presented here is a robe worn by Ali in appearances and/or training, which has written on the reverse in white script lettering, "Muhammad Ali 3 Time World Heavyweight Champion." The robe is black velvet with white terrycloth lining. It is waist length and carries an Everlast manufacturer's label on the front. The robe dates to 1981 based on the Everlast label, which would make it a possible training robe for the Trevor Berbick fight that year and a robe Ali would have likely worn during public appearances. In fine condition with some light soiling. Also missing the sash. A fantastic article that was worn by "The Greatest" during the twilight of his career. LOA from Craig Hamilton/ JO Sports.
