Everlast to Launch Muhammad Ali Collection

Muhammad Ali has paired with fitness manufacturer Everlast for a line of branded boxing apparel and equipment to hit sporting goods stores in the fall.

The Muhammad Ali Collection by Everlast will feature heavy bags, gloves, trunks, robes and other gear and accessories, retailing between $30 and $100. The line will be sold at stores, such as Dick's Sporting Goods and The Sports Authority.

"From the 'Rumble in the Jungle' to the 'Thrilla in Manilla' to his first round knock-out of Sonny Liston, it remains a tremendous source of pride within our company that Ali wore Everlast during the proudest moments of his career," says Neil Morton, chief executive officer of Everlast.

The agreement coincides with Everlast's 100^th anniversary in 2010 and the 50^th anniversary of Ali's Olympic gold medal.
