Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. (1942 - 2016) was an American professional boxer and activist. Nicknamed "the Greatest", he is regarded as one of the most significant sports figures of the 20th century and is often regarded as the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time. He fought in several historic boxing matches, including his highly published fights with Sonny Liston, Joe Frazier & George Foreman. He was famous for trash-talking, often free-styled with rhyme schemes and spoken word poetry, and has been recognized as a pioneer in hip hop. He often predicted which round he would knock out his opponent. A clean copy, SIGNED by Muhammad Ali! Stated First Edition! Gift quality! RAREA1975DQRB 03/24 - HK1347
