Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier Dual-Signed Contract for Their 1970 “Fight of the Century”
One of the finest signed boxing documents extant, contract signed by both “Joe Frazier” and “Muhammad Ali AKA Cassius Clay” for the bout between undefeated Ali and undefeated Frazier in the “Fight of the Century”. Contract dated 9 July 1970 schedules the fight for September 1970 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, as Ali was still prevented from fighting in either Las Vegas or New York. It would be about a month later that the New York Supreme Court ruled in Ali’s favor, paving the way for the Ali-Frazier fight in February 1971 at Madison Square Garden — so hyped that even Frank Sinatra couldn’t get tickets. Contract grants the net proceeds to Ali and Frazier in a laddered fashion, depending upon the overall proceeds of the fight. Ten-page document is signed on the ninth page by Ali in blue ballpoint, and Frazier in black felt-tip, along with representatives from the promoter Marlett Inc., Sports Action Inc. and Frazier’s corporation, Cloverlay Inc. Stapled at top to blue legal paper from the law firm of Moore, James, Wright & Gibbons, measuring 9″ x 14.5″. Light wear, overall in very good to near fine condition, with Ali and Frazier’s signatures large and bold. Sold for $17,500.
Signed and used Muhammad Ali boxing gloves signed (then Cassius Clay) to train for his second professional fight against Herb Siler in 1960. As an 18 year old, Clay signs and dates the left glove, ”From / Cassius Marcellus Clay / Dec. 19-60”, one week before he bested Siler in a TKO to advance his burgeoning boxing career. The long ink signature measures nearly 5” long and 1.5” tall and is unusual in that it includes his middle name, Marcellus. On the right glove is written in white, ”CASSIUS CLAY USED IN TRAINING HERB SILER 1960” and inside the cuff of both gloves is written ”C.C.” for identification purposes at the gym. These training gloves come with an LOA from noted Muhammad Ali collector Pete Morkovin who states that they were once part of the Columbia Street Gym Collection in Louisville, Kentucky. The gym was run by Joe Martin, the policeman who discovered Cassius Clay and introduced him to boxing after Clay had his bicycle stolen as a youth. Red leather boxing gloves by Spartan Sporting Goods Manufacturing Company include the original white laces. The gloves show heavy use, but remain in very good condition with no tears. Clay’s signature is strong, but lacks some contrast against the red leather. Among the earliest gloves attributed to Cassius Clay and scarce as signed. Sold for $15,000.

Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier 1970 ”Fight of the Century” Original Dual-Signed Contract
Muhammad Ali and rival Joe Frazier dual-signed World Heavyweight Boxing Championship contract. Two-page contract is signed by both “Joe Frazier” and “Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay” for the bout between undefeated Ali and undefeated Frazier in the “Fight of the Century.” This represents one of a handful of attempts made at staging the much-anticipated Fight of the Century before it finally came to fruition on 8 March 1971 at Madison Square Garden. Ali, as a result of his conviction for draft evasion during the Vietnam War, was stripped of his World Heavyweight Championship title. In addition, his boxing license was revoked in nearly every U.S. state. As a result, the Ali-Frazier fight was initially planned in Toronto, Canada, but the U.S. legal system wouldn’t allow Ali, out on bail and appealing his conviction, to leave the country. Ali was rejected by Florida, Texas, and Nevada before promoters approached Michigan. Despite public support for the fight by Detroit’s former mayor Jerome P. Cavanagh and Michigan State Athletic Commissioner Chuck Davey, himself a former boxer, Ali’s license was not reinstated and the fight was cancelled. The controversial decision was attributed by the media to everything from Michigan’s governor to the threat of riots in racial hotbed Detroit. Finally Ali received clearance to box in Atlanta, as Georgia was the only state without jurisdiction over municipalities’ individual decisions regarding boxing, but Frazier’s fighting schedule prevented the fight from occurring as planned there. Eventually a New York court rescinded its Athletic Commission’s decision and hosted the long-awaited and by then super-hyped “Fight of the Century”. Contract for the proposed fight details its location as Cobo Hall in Detroit and the date as 21 September 1970. Contract names a contingency – a deadline of 20 July 1970 for the approval of licensing. Contract also requests that a certified public accountant and 10 representatives from Frazier’s investment company, Cloverlay Inc., be admitted the night of the fight; also that Cloverlay has a right to license a photographer for the fight. Signed on page 2, “Muhammad Ali aka Cassius Clay” and “Joe Frazier”, both in black ink, with signatures large and bold. Document on two sheets measures 8.25″ x 13″, stapled at top left. A few small holes around staple at top left, else near fine condition. Sold for $7,563.
