(LOT 1723)
1962 L.A. Times Sports Page Signed by Cassius Clay and Rudolph Valentino Clay PSA/DNA
This framed signed L.A. Times sports page captures a pivotal moment in the early career of Cassius Clay. Fresh off his victory over the legendary Archie Moore, Clay's confidence and charisma are evident in his bold prediction that he would become the "Next Champ" in 1964, backing up the inscription he has added. This prophecy came true when he defeated Sonny Liston to claim the world heavyweight title, marking the beginning of his legendary career. The inclusion of his brother Rudolph Valentino Clay's signature adds a familial connection to this historic document. A true gem for collectors and boxing enthusiasts alike, this piece is not only a testament to Clay's early ambitions and eventual triumphs but also a rare artifact that embodies the spirit of one of the greatest athletes of all time.
