Muhammad Ali fought in his fair share of legendary fights and this lot offers (4) rare and elusive Heavyweight Championship Pennants. Included is a super rare 1964 Cassius Clay vs. Sonny Liston World Heavyweight Championship Pennant dated 2/25/64. Research indicates that this is one of only three ever offered publicly. Faded slightly from its original royal blue color the 28.5" pennant has bold yellow graphics on the soft-felt material with no cracking. A 2" split is present on the tip and there's a small puncture on the upper left corner but overall it comes in VG condition.
Second a white hard-felt 1971 World Heavyweight Championship Pennant from Ali vs. Frazier on 3/8/71 is presented in EX condition with two large pictures of the fighters and printed with Madison Square Garden Center on the front tip which is cut off around 3" from the end.
Third is a black soft-felt 1974 World Heavyweight Championship Pennant from Ali vs. Foreman on 10/30/74 in NM condition with the white graphics remaining bold and depicting two large images of the fighters on the front. Lastly is one of the rarest on-site Ali pennants from the same 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle” fight on 10/30/74 between Ali and Foreman. The white hard-felt pennant has mint red graphics spelling out the fighters' names with no signs of cracking and overall NM condition. The desirable pennant shows Ali and Foreman silhouettes over a green Africa and is dated 1974.
