This workout sweat is a replica based on a t-shirt that Muhammad Ali, then Cassius Clay, wore in his training for his 1964 upset of Sonny Liston in which he won the heavy-weight title for the first time. It was a victory that, as Ali famously put it, "shook up the world". It immediately launched him into that rare stratosphere of super stardom that he would occupy for the rest of his life.

As an artifact, this shirt has heavy resonance in Ali's development, for immediately after the Liston fight he would make the announcement that as a member of the Nation of Islam and a devoted follower of Elijah Muhammad, he no longer would be known by his slave name, Cassius Clay. He initially took the name Cassius X in the manner of his mentor, Malcolm X. Soon afterward he was given the name "Muhammad Ali" by Elijah Muhammad himself.
