Inside staples show appropriate aging indicative of an authentic issue. Clay would "shock the world" by winning the heavyweight title when Liston refused to answer the bell at the beginning of the seventh round. Shortly after, he would make history again by changing his name to Muhammad Ali. An important and uncommon on site artifact from the beginning of the Ali era.
