Muhammad Ali is suing Walter E. Cuff, a former employee of his mother's, to recover one of the champ's old silk boxing robes. Ali claims that Cuff recently tried to sell him the robe, which was thought to have been lost or stolen. A Kentucky Judge has issued an injunction barring Cuff, who claims the robe was a gift, from selling the garment to anyone until the case is resolved.
