Presented is a Muhammad Ali handwritten note, in blue pen on a 3 x 5¾-inch ruled white cut slip. The three-time heavyweight boxing champ has written “From Muhammad Ali Soul is the net, where hearts are caught like fish. July 30 – 85”. He has drawn a box around his note and added a “smiley face” in the lower right corner. The self-proclaimed "Greatest of All Time," Ali had a pretty good idea of what he was talking about. He became the first man to win the heavyweight title three times and revolutionized the sport by introducing a style that went against many of the game's sacred teachings. The most recognized athlete in the world, Ali had the honor of lighting the Olympic torch to open the 1996 Games in Atlanta. In 2005, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. This item comes with a full LOA from Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication (A77097). This item has been encapsulated and authenticated by PSA (84166311) and is graded AUTHENTIC.
