A sterling 56-5 record backed by 37 knockouts helped Muhammad Ali, arguably the greatest boxer of all time, back his self-given moniker “The Greatest.” This 23-inch miniature IBF replica championship belt features Ali’s signature in bold, black Sharpie on the left side of the iconic red leather piece. The belt features the trademark IBF logo in the center with an eagle overshadowing a pair of boxing gloves and two reflective plates with miniature eagles on either side. The backing of the belt is lined in gray fur and features a Velcro attachment. This piece is rare in that Ali never actually held the IBF championship, which was introduced in 1983. The signature comes with PSA/DNA certification number 3A48338, which is an 'in person' witness.
