Any true Ali fan would recognize this white satin with black trim styling from one hundred yards away the same look the iconic pugilist sported in the Rumble and the Thrilla. The presented pair dates to the early 1980's when the career of the greatest Heavyweight of all was winding to a close. Wear is light but clearly evident indicative of the generous Champ's habit of giving away his gear to fans with great regularity. Though a letter of provenance from noted collector Raleigh DeGeer Amyx dates the trunks to circa 1970 the black box surrounding the "Everlast" label at the waistband proves this recollection to be faulty dating the trunks to 1981 at the earliest. The size "L" label inside is proper for Ali trunks. Black ink signature on the front has ghosted yellow ever so slightly but still presents well. Graded MEARS Authentic. LOA from MEARS.
Pre-certified by PSA/DNA.
