Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali's boxing gloves recently went under the hammer for a whopping $400,000. This was the gloves that Ali wore in his 1971 fight against Joe Frazier in Fight of the Century.

The gloves was bought by an anonymous bidder for $388,375 at Texas-based Heritage Auctions at the National Sports Collectors Convention in Cleveland.

Heritage had previously auctioned a set of gloves Ali wore during his first World Championship in 1964 for $836,500.

The Fight of the Century, in New York's Madison Square Garden, was the first of three fights between Ali and Frazier during the 1970s.
