Cassius Clay | Muhammad Ali Signed Everlast Boxing Glove (Beckett)

Everlast boxing glove has been hand-signed by Muhammad Ali (D. 2016, HOF). Ali has signed with his birth name, Cassius Clay.

Cassius Clay's transformation into Muhammad Ali was a pivotal moment in both his personal journey and the history of sports and civil rights. Inspired by his conversion to Islam and his alignment with the Nation of Islam movement, Clay made the courageous decision to change his name to Muhammad Ali in 1964. This act of self-identity and religious conviction symbolized his defiance of societal norms and his commitment to his faith. Despite the controversy and resistance he faced, Ali stood firm, refusing to be called by his birth name. The name change marked a turning point in his life, signifying a renewed sense of purpose and resilience. Muhammad Ali went on to become one of the most iconic and influential figures in the world, not only for his boxing prowess but also for his unwavering commitment to civil rights, social justice, and the promotion of peace. His transition to Muhammad Ali serves as a powerful reminder of the significance of self-determination and the enduring legacy of an athlete who transcended the boundaries of sport.
