Roller Great Characters Muhammad Ali Special Edition | Montblanc

ONLY A FEW ATHLETES ARE CELEBRATED AND HONORED AS MUHAMMAD ALI, THREE-TIME HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD: HIS LEGENDARY EXPLOITS IN THE WORLD OF SPORTS AND CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISM HAVE MADE HIM ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ATHLETES AND HUMANITARIAN WORKERS OF THE 20th CENTURY. AS AN ATHLETE, ALI SHOCKED THE WHOLE WORLD WITH HIS STRENGTH, SKILLS AND PERSONALITY, BECOMING HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD AT THE AGE OF JUST 22. HIS GREATEST TRIUMPHS, HOWEVER, WERE THE FRUIT OF HIS HUMANITARIAN COMMITMENT. MADE OF FINE BLACK RESIN, THE HOOD REPRODUCES THE SHAPE OF A PUNCHING BAG, WHILE THE BODY DESIGN RECREATES THE BOXING WRAP WEAR BY BOXERS TO PROTECT THEIR HANDS. THE HOOD FEATURES VARIOUS DECORATIVE ELEMENTS, INCLUDING A FAMOUS EXCLAMATION OF WINGS, AND A BUTTERFLY INSPIRED BY HIS TYPICAL FIGHTING STYLE: FLIPS LIKE A BUTTERFLY, STINGS LIKE A BEE. THE POINTED CONE TAKES THIS LATEST CONCEPT AND HAS FOUR LINES ENGRAVED WHICH REPRESENT THE ROPES OF THE RING. THE INSCRIPTIONS ON THE CONE REFER TO ALI'-S VICTORY AT THE 1960 OLYMPIC GAMES IN ROME, AND TO THE FIRST WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP, WHICH HE WON IN MIAMI IN 1964. THE HOOD RING PRESENTS THE DETAILS OF HIS VICTORY, OR THE FACT OF HAVING WON IN THE SEVEN ROUND BY TECHNICAL KO. TO CELEBRATE ITS FIRST TITLE, THE MONTBLANC EMBLEM IN WHITE RESIN IS EMBELLISHED WITH THE NUMBER 1. TO EMPHASIZE HIS SUCCESS, THE CLIP REPRODUCES THE SHAPE OF A BOXING CHAMPION BELT WITH HIS NAME.
