Part of the Muhammad Ali Collection, the Kinshasa is named after the capital of Zaire, where Ali fought the legendary "Rumble in the Jungle."

Handcrafted in Japan and produced in a limited edition of only 500 pieces, the Kinshasa embodies the courage, dignity, and enduring legacy of one of history's greatest icons.
