This is an attractive full-size replica of the official World Boxing Association (WBA) Championship belt and it is signed in silver Sharpie on the back tie of the faux leather belt by four-time WBA Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali. Ali first won the WBA Heavyweight Championship on February 25 1964. The then-named Cassius Clay defeated Sonny Liston to capture the title. Ali won the WBA Championship a second time by beating Ernie Terrell on February 6 1967. Ali would win his third WBA Championship by beating George Foreman in The Rumble in the Jungle on October 30 1974. Ali won the WBA Championship title a fourth time when he defeated Leon Spinks in Ali's last professional victory on September 15 1978. The 44-inch black faux leather belt has an attractive burgundy trim with three gold-painted metal sculpture ovals one 8 inches in diameter and smaller 4-inch versions on either side. The center sculpture features a crown at the top that is lined with faux gemstones. Underneath the crown are two boxing gloves with a WBA enamel badge at the center. The badge reads "World Boxing Association." The two smaller brass sculptures feature blank mirrored simulated gold mirror plates as well as a repeat of the faux gemstone lined crown from the center sculpture but roughly half the size. The belt features a grey faux fur interior lining with back Velcro closure. Mounted over the back Velcro closure is a fourth brass sculpture containing an enamel WBA badge in Spanish that reads "Association Mundial/ De Boxeo." It appears that three of the small faux gemstones are missing from the two of the crown sculptures; there is also a bit of loss of the gold paint from the center gold sculpture visible only upon careful inspection. That aside the belt is largely as-issued and problem-free. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
