EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from August 6,1966, at Earls Court Arena in Kensington, London, the legendary heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali showcases his unparalleled skill and dominance. Hailing from Louisville, Kentucky, Ali defended his title against Brian London of Blackpool, England. With an undefeated record of 24-0 entering the ring that day, Ali's reputation preceded him. London, with a record of 35-13, faced an uphill battle against the formidable Ali. When asked about a potential rematch with the champ after their bout ended in a knockout during the third round, London humorously remarked that he would only agree if Ali tied a hefty 56-pound weight to each leg. In this image captured by staff photographers on that historic day in boxing history, we witness Ali unleashing an all-out assault on Brian London. The intensity and power behind each punch are palpable as 'The Greatest' demonstrates why he earned such acclaim throughout his career.
