Muhammad Ali Terry Cloth Game-Worn-Used Training Everlast Robe With Signed Letter From Ali

Ali wore this type of robe for training during his career as a professional boxer. It is white Everlast half length robe with a hood and has sewn embroidery on the back “MUHAMMAD ALI ” in block letter. A key point to it being a training robe vs just some store bought robe, is that the bottom of the sleeves well accommodate boxing gloves. This is important to note, as normal robes would not be especially made for this type of accomadation Ali signed the letter in blue ballpoint (“9-10”). To note, many of the items in his Ali collection has been featured in other prominent auction houses.

Photo of the original collector who obtained this glove ( in person) is pictured. Muhammad Ali would always address this collector as “His Biggest Fan”.  He had commissioned Ali for his own signings as well as attending every signing that this collector could go to. This is a personal photo that the family kept signifying the close relationship that Muhammad Ali had with them.  A copy of this signed photo will be included in this lot as well as the photo of the signing. Howard Bingham was Muhammad Ali’s personal photographer and he is the one who took this photograph.
