1981 Muhammad Ali Training Worn and Autographed Trunks Used For Berbick Fight

Iconic Muhammad Ali Boxing Trunks: A Piece of Boxing History

A Glimpse into the Legend’s Final Bout

These extraordinary “EVERLAST” manufactured black velvet boxing trunks, adorned with elegant white satin trim, are a testament to the enduring legacy of Muhammad Ali. The trunks feature the iconic “EVERLAST” manufacturer’s tag on the front waistband, dating them to post-1980. This period marks the twilight of Ali’s illustrious career, with only one fight after 1980—his final bout against Trevor Berbick on December 11, 1981. These trunks are not just a piece of clothing; they are a symbol of the end of an era in boxing history.

Distinctive Styling and Signature

The ornate styling of these trunks is characteristic of the items worn by Ali during his promotional appearances and public training sessions. Adding to their allure, Ali has personally signed the front left leg of the trunks in gold marker, with the signature rating a 5 overall. This signature not only enhances the trunks’ value but also serves as a personal touch from “The Greatest” himself.
