Three pairs of red Everlast boxing gloves, with one glove in each pair signed in black marker by Muhammad Ali, and the other glove signed in silver paint pen by "Smokin Joe Frazier." Each of the gloves has been signed on the back of the glove by the respective fighter. The three Muhammad Ali signatures each display moderate bleeding and grade "7." The three Joe Frazier signatures are boldly scripted and grade "10." Ali and Frazier met three times, twice for the Heavyweight Boxing Championship, with Ali winning two of the three bouts. Each was considered a classic, especially the final bout, known today as the "Thrilla in Manilla," which was one of the most physically grueling fights in boxing history. All of the gloves are unused and remain in Near Mint condition. Total: 6 boxing gloves (3 signed by Ali and 3 signed by Frazier). LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $500. Estimate $2,000+.
