Muhammad Ali's 1993 World Boxing Council Hall of Fame Trophy. Muhammad Ali's 1993 World Boxing Council Hall of Fame Trophy. Muhammad Ali's World Boxing Council Hall of Fame Trophy. World Boxing Council trophy honoring Muhammad Ali's selection into the WBC Hall of Fame. This event coincided with the 30-year celebration of the WBC's birth as the most prestigious council in boxing and the preferred title to own as a champion. The award is composed of a large metal boxing glove resting on a black wooden and glass base standing 14 in. (355 mm.) There is a small WBC emblem at the top and a larger WBC emblem with color flags of participating countries that recognize the WBC and its boxing champions. Beneath is a silver plaque inscribed engraved, "WBC Hall of Fame Thirty Years - 1993" and one beneath inscribed "Muhammad Ali". This trophy was exhibited in 1995 at the Muhammad Ali Center, Louisville, Kentucky. Excellent condition. This Trophy was originally offered in the 1997 Christies sale of the legendary Paloger Collection of Muhammad Ali Memorabilia. Items from this sale rarely surface and when they do are highly sought after by collectors. In February 2015 one such item from this auction, Ali's 1966 draft board letter, sold for $334,000 at auction.
