USPS Honors Muhammad Ali with Forever Stamps

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has announced that it will issue a series of Forever stamps honoring the legendary boxing champion Muhammad Ali. These commemorative stamps will serve as a lasting tribute to Ali's significant influence both inside and outside of the boxing ring.

The official stamp dedication ceremony took place on January 14, 2026, which would have been Ali’s 80th birthday. The event featured notable guests including Ali’s family, close friends, and sports historians, who all gathered to celebrate his impactful legacy and contributions to sports, activism, and culture.

Ali is widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes in history. Beyond his prowess as a boxer—having won numerous championships and accolades—he was also known for his humanitarian efforts and social activism. His refusal to be drafted into the Vietnam War due to his religious beliefs and opposition to the conflict is a defining moment in his life, showcasing his commitment to his principles. Ali's words and actions have inspired generations to fight for justice and equality.

The designs for the Forever stamps feature iconic images of Ali during significant moments in his career, beautifully capturing the spirit of his athleticism and charisma. The stamps are expected to resonate not only with boxing fans but also with those who admire Ali for his cultural and social contributions.

The Forever stamps can be used for first-class mail, allowing individuals to send letters while paying homage to an extraordinary figure in American history. Upon their availability, the stamps will be sold in post offices and online, ensuring that anyone can easily access this commemorative item.
