The ultimate trophy buy: Muhammad Ali’s boyhood Kentucky home

Share

This could be the ultimate trophy property: The boyhood home of boxing legend Muhammad Ali is up for sale by owner for $50,000 in Louisville, Ky., the Associated Press reports.

The white single-story looks unremarkable among houses on the street except it features a state historical marker proclaiming the residence as Cassius Clay’s home when he was growing up. A walkway off the sidewalk leads to a small front porch and the front door.

The historical marker was placed in front of the house in May.

Ali, 70, is a three-time world heavyweight champion and social activist. He was among those to carry the Olympic flag during the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
