. In this print captured by Monte Fresco OBE, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of September 22nd, 1976. The image showcases two legendary figures in the world of boxing – Muhammad Ali and Ken Norton – as they undergo a medical examination ahead of their highly anticipated third fight. The photograph not only captures the physicality and determination etched on both fighters' faces but also highlights an intriguing element within Ali's entourage. Holding anti-Ken Norton banners, members of Ali's team demonstrate unwavering support for their champion, fueling the already electric anticipation surrounding this monumental clash. Ali, known for his charismatic personality and quick wit, earned himself various monikers such as "The Louisville Lip" and "The People's Champion". Meanwhile, Norton stood tall as a formidable opponent with his own impressive record. This encounter between two African American boxers represents more than just a sporting event; it symbolizes resilience against racial barriers prevalent during that era.
