LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A fan of Muhammad Ali has acquired an important piece of memorabilia: the boxing legend's boyhood home.

Louisville realtor Dave Lambrechts told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Las Vegas real estate investor Jared Weiss closed on the property the day before. He said Weiss paid $70,000 for the small white house with a sagging front porch overhang in a western Louisville neighborhood made up of mostly neat, modest homes.

"The guy's a huge Ali fan, and that's what kind of spurred this," Lambrechts said.
