While NFT’s have come in for some heat in boxing recently, look at this way.
Be it from a subjective or objective engineering mentality. You build them utilizing structural, optimal, adaptational testing, then, they follow. Iterate. Repeat. Keep it pushing. Somehow. It is a very new space, after all. What’s the worst that can happen, they break, or don’t work? Yeah, so? Nothing lasts forever anyway.
Boxing, like any industry, needs to adapt and if some professional fighters or events want to create these things, what harm?
A lot of pressure and anxiety surely it would be carrying and building an entire industry alone for anyone, let alone this new this NFT industry space. For those involved. No doubt.
It is individual preference at the end of the day.
It will be up to the boxers themselves to see if it is something they want to do.
Same for the big fight events of course.
This bit of news is a tad different, though.
Then again, so was Muhammad Ali, wasn’t he?
A humble God-fearing individual who transcended boxing.
Unconventional, moved different did Ali, which made many uncomfortable at the time, people forget this often as a pioneer in his time in the early days. Isn’t it funny, it wasn’t until time went on that people realized how selfless he was, always helping people. He still is.
Now, for the first time, a world renowned photographer who knew him very, very well, when they met in 1986 and forged a relationship afterwards, is bringing some of his rarest moments to life.
Not just for money, either, as the humble Ali would have loved.
Much will be given in proceeds to a health wellness charity known as Boxing Futures.
On August 10th photographer Christina Jansen will team up with WAX Blockchain to unveil this new line of Ali NFT Digital Collectables.
Due to the unique nature of this, befitting of Ali, unable to label and undefinable, with his identity routed and only found in his faith in God, this should be exciting to say the least.
This won’t be your typical NFT. That’s for sure.
More on this should be forthcoming next week but overall — hopefully this raises a healthy few bucks for charity.
The very best of luck to all involved.
