Outstanding Cassius Clay signature on a ticket from the 1960 National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions. 1960 was arguable the most outstanding year in Cassius Clay's boxing career. Clay not only became the back to back National Golden Glove Champion but he also traveled to Rome and brought home the Gold Metal in the 1960 Olympic games and secured a victory in his first career professional boxing match against Tunny Hunsaker in October 1960.
