Homage to Ali: Neil Leifer pays tribute to the legendary Muhammad Ali in an exclusive set of classic photographs. Each photograph is in an edition of 40 signed dye-sublimation prints on ChromaLuxe aluminum panels, ready to hang.
Ali vs. Liston II, May 25, 1965: Between their two fights, Cassius Clay embraced the Nation of Islam and renamed himself Muhammad Ali, Sonny Liston was arrested, the rematch in Boston was scrapped just days before it was scheduled, and the desperate promoters finally found a site—a junior hockey rink in Lewiston, Maine. This triple exposure shot by Leifer on a 4x5 sheet of film was a potential cover for the Sports Illustrated issue on the upcoming Ali-Liston rematch.
