Featured is an autographed piece of art on canvas by artist Justin Bua, featuring Muhammad Ali. Born Cassius Clay, Ali would cement one of the greatest legacies in boxing history, sitting atop the heavyweight division throughout the 1960’s and 1970’s. Aside from his intimidating presence in the ring, Ali was a devout civil rights activists and polarizing figure outside the ring.
This piece depicts a young Ali standing in the ring, while throwing a left jab. This acrylic piece truly highlights Ali, as his jab appears to be “popping out” of the picture, while a large crowd cheers behind him. This piece stands 30 x 40 inches and is unframed. Artist Justin Bua has signed his name on the bottom right. Ali himself signed this piece in gold ink across the top. This item has been authenticated by Steve Grad of Beckett Authentication and comes with a full LOA (A03302).
