Just a couple months after returning home from the 1960 Olympic Games with the gold medal, Cassius Marcellus Clay would sign these Everlast EP16’s and turn pro on October 29, 1960. The gloves are the very first young Cassius Clay ever signed. In a hint of things to come, Clay decisioned his opponent, Tunney Hunsaker in Louisville, KY. on that day, and proceeded to win his next 18 bouts (15 by KO).
