ALI, MUHAMMAD TRAINING CAMP T SHIRT (1980-FOR HOLMES FIGHT)

On October 2, 1980 Heavyweight Champion Larry Holmes fought former champion Muhammad Ali at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The aging Ali could not stand up to his talented former sparring partner and was systematically taken apart until the fight ended by TKO in round 11. Holmes was deeply upset the once great Ali had to absorb so much punishment before the fight was stopped. Presented here is a rare souvenir T shirt from the Muhammad Ali training camp for this fight. The shirt declares Four Times Champion, a reference to Ali's upcoming fight with Holmes and hopeful victory.
This is an original, cotton, souvenir T shirt. Bold color and print. Size Small. Minor wear. No holes. Rare, the first we have seen.
