Ali’s boxing gloves, Fidel Castro cigars highlight sports auction (Reuters)
(Reuters) – Muhammad Ali’s fight gloves and a box of cigars signed by the Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro are among some of the highlights in an auction of memorabilia steeped in sporting history. Ali’s gloves from the 1970 match at Madison Square Gardens in which he defeated Oscar Bonavena are expected to fetch upwards of $ 60,000, auctioneer Darren Julien of Julien’s Auctions said. Another key item belonging to the late Ali is a box of cigars autographed by Castro, who died last week at age 90.
