PHOTOGRAOH OF 12 YEAR OLD CASSIUS CLAY, SIGNED IN BLUE MARKER BY MUHAMMAD ALI, NOVEMBER 1954
- $20K APPRAISAL VALUE!
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This extremly rare, historically significant photo of Muhammad Ali, then still known as Cassius Clay, was taken when he was only 12 years old. The posed image was for his fight against Ronnie O’Keefe on the WAVE-TV amateur boxing program, “Tomorrow’s Champions,” in November 1954, shortly after taking up the sport.
Clay was introduced to boxing by policeman and boxing trainer Joe Martin in 1954 after Clay, who was irate at having his bicycle stolen, had gone to the local police station and vowed to “whup” whoever was responsible for the theft.
Ali went on to establish the most famous professional career in boxing history. This is one of the rarest vintage signed Ali image extant which was signed at an official paid private autograph session.
