Shorts worn by Mohammed Ali auctioned for millions of dollars. Since March 27, the boxer's shorts worn during the famous "Thrilla and Manilla" fight have driven up prices at Sotheby's.

The shorts have already been the subject of five offers, the last of which was $3.8 million. Other lots are several jerseys of the essential French prodigy of the San Antonio Spurs Victor Wembanyama, and the contents of his wardrobe, linen, chair and bottles of water.
