EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the legendary Cassius Clay, also known as Muhammad Ali, sprinting through The Mall in London. It was a crisp morning on May 28th, 1963, just hours before his highly anticipated first fight with Henry Cooper. Determined to give it his all, Clay emerged from his room at the crack of dawn and embarked on an intense training session. As the sun began to rise over the city streets, Clay's feet pounded against the pavement as he raced down Lower Regent Street. His commitment to excellence was evident as he seamlessly transitioned into shadow boxing in The Mall for a solid half hour. With every punch thrown and every step taken, he honed his skills and mentally prepared himself for what lay ahead. This image captures not only Clay's physical prowess but also showcases his unwavering dedication to his craft. As an African American boxer during a time of racial tension in America and around the world, he defied societal expectations and became an icon for equality and justice. Arthur Sidey skillfully immortalizes this historic moment through photography. This remarkable print serves as a reminder of Ali's indomitable spirit and enduring legacy – one that transcends sportsmanship itself.
