An official International Boxing Federation (IBF) Championship belt signed by four past boxing champions. The belt is signed “Muhammad Ali,” “Smokin’ Joe Frazier,” “The Macho Man/ Hector Macho Camacho,” and “Sugar Ray Leonard,” all in black marker. Ali attempted to sign the belt twice above Sugar Ray Leonard’s signature without completion before successfully signing the front bottom portion of the belt. The red leather belt is adorned with a large brass sculpture in the center, lined with red and white stones surrounding the badge that reads “IBF/ World Champion/ International Boxing Federation.” The sculpture features an eagle above the badge with two boxing gloves below. The badge is flanked by two brass mirrored and sculpted pieces, one of which is signed by Camacho. The inside of the belt is lined with faux fur and attaches at the back with Velcro. Over the rear attachment is a brass plaque repeating the logo badge from the front of the belt with the images of two boxers on either side. At the base of the rear plaque is the name “Robert W. Lee,” the founder of the IBF. Accompanied by a certificate of registration from Online Authentics. 48 1/2 by 11 1/2 inches Categories: Muhammad Ali
