Neil Leifer // Homage to Ali // Clay vs. Liston I, 1964
Product Description
Clay vs. Liston I, Convention Center, Miami Beach, February 25, 1964: Heavyweight Champion Sonny Liston was used to bullying opponents in the ring, but 22-year-old Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, was too quick for him. Ali dodged Liston, cut him, and got through two rounds when something on Liston’s gloves blinded him. Ali ultimately prevailed. “It’s hard to be humble when you’re as great as I am,” he later declared. This photograph appeared on the March 9, 1964 cover of Sports Illustrated.
Native New Yorker Neil Leifer began photographing sports events as a teenager. Over 160 of his pictures have appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated and over 40 of his photographs have graced the cover of Time. He has published 17 books, and was one of two principal photographers in TASCHEN’s tribute to Muhammad Ali, GOAT—Greatest Of All Time and the illustrated edition of Norman Mailer’s The Fight.
