I recently read that Prince Muhammad Ali Ibrahim of Egypt in 1924 challenged Jack Dempsey to a title bout and offers to wager $100,000 that he can KO the champ. The Prince claims to have developed a right-hand blow he calls the "Pyramid Punch". Dempsey ignored the challenged.
Would like to know if there really was a fighter named Prince Muhannad Ali Ibrahim.

His manager told newsmen "this blow lands with the force of the Pyramid and knocks a rival stiffer
than a Sphinx".
