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.

....probably the precursor to the "Anchor punch" handed down to his decendant.

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