Few athletes are as celebrated and honored as Muhammad Ali, three-time World Heavyweight Champion, whose legendary achievements in sports and civil rights activism made him one of the most influential athletes and humanitarians of the 20th century. As an athlete, Ali shocked the world with his strength, skill and personality, becoming World Heavyweight Champion at the age of just 22. His greatest triumphs, however, came through his humanitarian work. Crafted from black precious resin, the cap is shaped like a punching bag, while the body design is inspired by the hand wraps worn by boxers. The cap features several decorative elements, including Ali's famous quote and a butterfly inspired by his signature fighting style: Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The pointed cone reflects this concept and is engraved with four lines representing 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 cap ring features the details of his victory, namely that he won in the seventh round by technical knockout. To celebrate his first title, the Montblanc emblem in white resin is adorned with the number 1. To emphasize his achievement, the clip reproduces the shape of a boxing championship belt with his name. The hand-crafted solid Au585 yellow gold nib features a boxing glove.
