Muhammad’s passing this year rocked the world and is still being felt in truth, such was it’s gravity.
A man who had previously bought the iconic gloves Ali wore in 1971’s ‘Fight of the Century’ has decided to relinquish them in an upcoming auction.

He originally purchased the gloves back in 2014 for $388,375, but it’s expected following Muhammad’s passing that the gloves are estimated to now be worth North of $1 million US dollars.
