Muhammad Ali Boldly Signed Photo: "after me there will never… be another to do it 3 times"

A vintage photograph of three times world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali (1942-2016), boldly signed, inscribed, and dated in thick black sharpie across the lower half as: "To Mike Caen / From / Muhammad Ali / after me there will never / never never be another to do / it 3 times / 2-11-88." The glossy black and white photo shows a bare-chested Ali in white shorts and calf-high boxing boots, braced in an orthodox stance. Expected surface wear including isolated minor wrinkles and ghost impressions. A small area of yellow discoloration affects the right edge, else near fine. 8" x 9.625." Pre-approved by PSA for authentication.

An important part of Ali's athletic persona was his attitude. Famous for making unabashedly self-aggrandizing statements, Ali once described himself as a "big-mouth and a bragger," and this photo inscription recalls some of his irresistible braggadocio. And while Ali's world heavyweight record has since been surpassed, it is still true that no one has ever marketed themselves in quite the same way as Ali.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
