Muhammad Ali Boxing Programme 08.06.23
The best autographs are more than just signatures.
They're rooted in a time and place.
Knowing when and where they were signed gives you a sense of history.
A comforting connection to the past.
And the feeling that you're lucky to own an item which has survived intact over the years.
Today's new stock item gives you exactly that.
It's a souvenir from a famous night 52 years ago.
Signed by the 'Greatest of All Time' - Muhammad Ali.
Muhammad Ali is a key autograph for collectors - so make sure you own a great one.
The ideal piece for collectors
Muhammad Ali was many things throughout his life.
A showman. A political activist. A cultural icon.
But first and foremost, he was a fighter. A champion.
So when you're adding an Ali signature to your collection, you want a piece which ties in as closely to his boxing career as possible.
Ideally it should be:
- Dated circa 1964 - 1975, at the height of his boxing career
- Linked directly to a specific fight
- Signed clearly without any personal dedication
This piece ticks all those boxes.
An original boxing programme from Ali's first appearance at the world-famous Royal Albert Hall in 1971.
Muhammad Ali hits London
It's an original programme from Ali's exhibition fight at the Royal Albert Hall on October 19, 1971.
It was his first appearance at the historic London venue, just a few months after his 'Fight of the Century' against Joe Frazier.
He was the world's most famous boxer. And the house was packed.
“That's a helluva hall you got there,” he stated. “Fit for the Greatest!”
He fought eight rounds against four boxers that night: Alonzo Johnson, Johnny Frankham, Graham Sines, and Cliff Field.
Perhaps you were even there that night?
The original owner of this programme certainly was.
Muhammad Ali made many trips to the U.K during his career, and was always greeted with open arms by his British fans.
And 30 years later in 2001 he returned to the Royal Albert Hall – this time to receive the World Sportsman of the Century award.
The programme features a large bold Ali autograph on the cover, ideal for display.
A large bold autograph
The programme measures approx. 18.5 by 25.5cm and is in fine condition, complete with its original wrappers and only light handling wear.
Ali has signed the cover beneath his name in black felt tip pen.
It's a superb example of his autograph, as bold and clear as the night he signed it more than 50 years ago.
There's no personal inscription, which adds to its value.
And it's placed nicely beside an iconic portrait of Ali in his prime, and his undisputed title: "The greatest heavyweight of all time."
The condition, the large signature and the visual appeal make this a great display piece.
And the price is equally attractive.
A superb signed collector's item with a great price to match. Add it to your collection now.
