Before he became known as Muhammad Ali, the former heavyweight-boxing champ was named Cassius Clay. Using his original given name, Clay signed in blue Sharpie this copy of Referee Magazine featuring himself and former heavyweight champ Sonny Liston getting ready to do battle a second time. The magazine is dated Nov. 21, 1964, nine months after Clay beat Liston the first time and seven months before the newly named Muhammad Ali beat Liston the second time. Clay would knock Liston out three months later. The item comes with a full LOA from PSA/DNA.
