EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see the legendary Cassius Clay, later known as Muhammad Ali, sprinting through The Mall in London. It was a historic moment captured on May 28th, 1963, just before his first fight with Henry Cooper. The image showcases Clay's dedication to his craft as he left his room at the Piccadilly Hotel at the break of dawn to train. Starting with a run down Lower Regent Street, he then found himself in The Mall where he engaged in half an hour of intense shadow boxing. Clay's determination is palpable as he races through the iconic capital city streets wearing boots that symbolize strength and resilience. As an African American athlete during the turbulent 1960s, Clay broke barriers and shattered stereotypes by becoming one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. His morning jog near Buckingham Palace not only displayed his physical prowess but also highlighted his unwavering commitment to training and preparation for upcoming battles inside the ring. This photo encapsulates both Clay's athletic abilities and cultural significance as it captures him mid-stride with sweat glistening on his face – a true testament to his hard work and dedication. Arthur Sidey skillfully immortalized this powerful moment from history through Memory Lane Prints for us all to admire and remember "The Louisville Lip" who would go on to become "The People's Champion.
