EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Albert Foster, we witness the legendary Muhammad Ali in training, showcasing his charismatic personality and unique sense of humor. With a mischievous grin on his face, Ali playfully points his magic wand towards the camera as he declares, "I'm not an old man, but I want Larry Holmes to think I am. That's why I wear these glasses and cap". It is May 2nd, 1980 - a significant date etched in boxing history. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as Ali prepares for his highly anticipated bout against Larry Holmes. Known for his quick wit and mind games outside the ring, Ali cleverly uses props like glasses and caps to create an illusion of age and vulnerability. With a touch of magic in his words, Ali hints at the power he possesses within himself. He suggests that with just a flick of his wand or perhaps through sheer force of will alone, he might make Holmes disappear from the ring. This photograph not only captures Ali's physical prowess but also highlights his ability to entertain both inside and outside the squared circle. It serves as a reminder of how he transcended mere athleticism to become an icon celebrated for his charisma and showmanship. Albert Foster's snapshot freezes this moment in time forever; it immortalizes one of boxing's greatest legends during a pivotal period in sports history when Muhammad Ali was still known by many as Cassius Clay – before becoming synonymous with greatness itself.
