Muhammad Ali, pre-fight training, London

HOEPKER Thomas

Written on the back of this work is: “Sometimes it's good to revisit old contact sheets. You may discover overlooked snaps. It seems that some pictures get better when they age while others turn out to have a short shelf life. This is one of many photographs I've taken of Muhammad Ali, some of which are well-known, some unknown. This particular image is from 1966, while Ali was training for a fight in London. Honestly, I can't recall much more than that, except that when Ali worked the speed bag, he punished it.” — Thomas Hoepker
