A good signed photograph of Cassius Clay dated 1963 with inscription prophesising his defeat of Sonny Liston to become the ''next champ'', the tinted b&w photograph signed in blue biro and reading TO ALL DINERS, FROM CASSIUS CLAY, NEXT CHAMP, LISTON IN 6, GOOD LUCK, 1963, an area of creasing or repaired tears to upper right hand side From the inscription, this photograph was signed by Clay on behalf of a restaurant sometime after his defeat of Henry Cooper in London on 18th June 1963 and the end of that year. His prediction of ''Liston in 6'' was nearly correct, with Liston's corner pulling him out of the fight in the 7th when Clay claimed the heavyweight championship crown in Miami Beach on 25 February 1964.
