EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photo print, taken by Monte Fresco in 1966, we are transported back to the bustling streets of Piccadilly Circus. The focal point of the image is none other than Cassius Clay himself, surrounded by his entourage, as they make their way through the vibrant city on their route to a press conference for his highly anticipated rematch with Henry Cooper. Clay's confident stance and charismatic presence command attention from both passersby and photographers alike. As one of the most influential figures in boxing history, he exudes an air of invincibility that would later be solidified when he changed his name to Muhammad Ali. The energy captured within this photograph perfectly encapsulates the excitement surrounding this momentous event. It serves as a reminder of Clay's unwavering determination and relentless pursuit of greatness in the heavyweight division. Piccadilly Circus itself provides a fitting backdrop for such an electrifying scene. Its illuminated billboards and throngs of people symbolize not only London's vibrant spirit but also its role as a global hub for culture and entertainment. This print transports us back to a defining moment in sports history - where two legendary fighters prepared to clash once again for glory inside the ring.
