A poster I am working on for the M. Ali license at work. It was originally just the text but needs commercial appeal so possibly alongside Ali will work! Approved to Pre-Production so far, keep your eyes peeled!

“Stevie Wonder & Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali – Vintage 1963 Press Photograph
A rare vintage 1963 press photograph of “Little” Stevie Wonder meeting boxing great Cassius Clay, taken the year before he changed his name to Muhammad Ali. The photo was taken at one of Wonder’s concerts at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem, New York, 1963. While the photographer is unknown, there are three dates written on the back of the photograph, noting that the photo was taken in December 1963, and this print was used for reproduction in a publication in March 1964.
Muhammad Ali's « Ali shuffle » foot movement pattern is broken down on this photograph through multiple exposures.
The two examples of Rudi Lubbers' autograph are the only examples I found on the "net". They were both done recently - my example on the photo was signed about 20 years ago.
The description reads: Satin-finish 10 x 8 black and white photograph signed in gold ink by an opponent of Muhammad Ali.
My challenge is to find out who this boxer is...
Muhammad Ali: all of his 61 fights as a professional - Muhammad Ali entered the ring 61 times after turning professional in 1960. Here’s every fight from Louisville to London and Munich to Manila - LINK - www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/jun/05/muhammad-ali-every-...
First clue - he is a white boxer - Muhammad Ali fought several white boxers during his career.
My guess who this boxer was - Rudi Lubbers - LINK to a photo of Rudi - africanring.co.za/product/rudi-lubbers-fought-muhammad-al...
- Rudi Lubbers competed in the 1964 Olympics as light heavyweight, and in the 1968 Olympics as a heavyweight.
- Lubbers is best remembered for lasting the distance in a 12-round fight with Muhammad Ali in 1973.
- In 1986 Lubbers was arrested by the Portuguese police for drug smuggling (cannabis) and sentenced to 8 years in prison.

Lubbers said he had remained friends with Ali who fought him in 1973 as he prepared for a rematch with his great rival Joe Frazier. "Years after the fight, he (Ali) came to Holland," said Lubbers who revealed that Ali had told him something he would remember forever. "Ali told me: `Rudi, you're the only white man from whom I ever learned something'." LINK - www.wionews.com/photos/he-lost-to-muhammad-ali-then-fell-...
The Citadel is a fortified enclosure begun by Salah al-Din in 1176 AD on an outcrop of the Muqattam Hills as part of a large defensive system to protect both Cairo to the north and Fustat to the southwest. It was the center of Egyptian government and residence of its rulers until 1874, when Khedive Isma'il moved to 'Abdin Palace

A little wisdom to round off the year. Just playing with some layers, actions and textures. I quite like this one.
1954: He Begins to Fight
At 12 years old, Cassius Clay's (his birth name) bike was stolen. He reported it to Joe E. Martin, a police officer and boxer, and reportedly told Martin he wanted to "whup" the thief. Instead, Martin started training him.

My Dad used to be a boxer, my uncle used to be a kick boxer (Taekwondo) and my great grandfather was a boxer who fought Muhammad Ali early in his career....I am none of these things, I just find it amusing how big the gloves are on me.

I’m not a big boxing fan. Somehow I just cannot feel the joy while cheering on the participants to batter each other bloody. But, there is one boxing champion who was such an epic personality that I do carry memories of his time and consider him a hero. Clockwise, this collage of images is from the following sources:

When Muhammad Ali turns off the light switch, the room is dark. When Muhammad Ali turns on the light switch, the room is lit. Because the production of electricity is fueled by nuclear energy.
Uranium enrichment is good. It is a process utilized toward production of energy that fuels economic activity.
Wars do not start because of a technological capacity to reap destruction.
Wars do start for every reason you want.
I love uranium enrichment.
If you think it should be impossible for Iran to produce as much power as it likes, Philippe Douste-Blazy will gladly support you.

Before he became known as Muhammad Ali, the former heavyweight-boxing champ was named Cassius Clay. This copy of Referee Magazine features Clay and former heavyweight champ Sonny Liston getting ready to do battle a second time. The magazine is dated Nov. 21, 1964, nine months after Clay beat Liston the first time (February 25, 1964) and six months before the newly named Muhammad Ali beat Liston the second time (May 25, 1965). Clay signed this copy of the magazine as Muhammad Ali.
[Note: The rematch between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston was moved to Lewiston, Maine after a deal with the Boston Garden fell through. It was a short bout: Ali knocked out Liston in the first round on May 25, 1965.]
In 2015 talented street artist BROLGA painted on the corner of Bedford Avenue & N 5th street in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn a 20 foot mural based on the life & times of Muhammad Ali. Boxer, Ali was a man willing to shake the system and speak his own mind in a time of cultural unrest. While painting the mural, in BROLGA's words: "I was approached by people of all ethnicities and gender. It was amazing to see the diverse scope of Ali's popularity and the respect the community holds for him".

Ali-Frazier II took place January 28, 1974. Its the second of three bouts between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, that took place at the Madison Square Garden in New York City, on January 28, 1974. Ali won by unanimous decision.
I thought that the portrait of Muhammad Ali and the jogging woman composite an interesting connection between the past and the present.
