- Lot Description
We’ve auctioned our share of iconic boxing items, but this the first piece we’ve encountered holding the signatures of Jack Johnson and Muhammad Ali – two of the greatest fighters in history separated by a half century, yet undeniably linked through their dominance in the ring and fearlessness against the racial status quo. The owner of this dual-signed autobiography of Jack Johnson – In the Ring – and Out recognized these important parallels. Just two days before Ali's triumphant title defense over Ron Lyle, he seized the opportunity to get a matching autograph from Ali on the interior cover of the 1927 first edition book. Jack Johnson, the first Black Heavyweight champion, signed decades earlier in his distinct style, “Jack Johnson, Former Champion,” using a strong 9/10 black fountain pen. Ali’s autograph is equally striking, written in black marker and inscribed, “5/14/75, Champ.” A few stray pencil marks on Johnson’s page appear to be erasable.
The first edition volume alone is scarce, and it remains well-preserved in EX shape. The red cover has a small drink ring obscured by the original dust jacket. This wonderful, possibly one-of-a-kind pairing, has been authenticated by PSA/DNA with a full LOA.
