A red left-hand Everlast brand boxing glove signed "Cassius Clay" by Muhammad Ali and signed by Tunney Hunsaker in black marker. In 1960, Hunsaker, like Ali a Kentucky native, was Cassius Clay's first opponent in a professional boxing match. The match took place on October 29, 1960, in Louisville, Kentucky. Ali won the fight in the sixth round. After the fight, Hunsaker described Clay as "fast as lightning" and "he was just too good." In his autobiography, Ali credited Hunsaker as dealing him one of the hardest body blows of his career. With mutual respect, Ali and Hunsaker became friends and stayed in touch.
