This remarkable red speed bag is signed by the legendary Muhammad Ali in silver felt-tip pen and features the iconic inscription: “Float Like a Butterfly, Sting Like a Bee, Muhammad Ali, 5-21-88.” A tribute to one of the most famous quotes in sports history, this inscription echoes Ali’s legendary words following his 1974 “Rumble in the Jungle” victory: “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee; his hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see!”
Few examples of this iconic phrase exist in Ali’s own handwriting, making this piece extraordinarily rare. In fact, this is the only known speed bag bearing this iconic inscription. It’s a truly one-of-a-kind piece of memorabilia that perfectly captures the charisma and greatness of the Greatest of All Time.
