Situated in Deer Lake, Pennsylvania, not far from Allentown. Ali used it to train for important fights in the 1970s - now, it is kind of run down, consisting of several log cabins and big boulders with the names of great boxers (which Ali had set up back in the day to honor other pugilism greats like Sonny Liston, Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Joe Frazier).

(History.com) On October 30, 1974, 32-year-old Muhammad Ali becomes the heavyweight champion of the world for the second time when he knocks out 25-year-old champ George Foreman in the eighth round of the "Rumble in the Jungle," a match in Kinshasa, Zaire. Seven years before, Ali had lost his title when the government accused him of draft-dodging and the boxing commission took away his license. His victory in Zaire made him only the second dethroned champ in history to regain his belt.
The "Rumble in the Jungle" (named by promoter Don King, who’d initially tagged the bout "From the Slave Ship to the Championship!" until Zaire’s president caught wind of the idea and ordered all the posters burned) was Africa’s first heavyweight championship match. The government of the West African republic staged the event—its president, Mobutu Sese Seko, personally paid each of the fighters $5 million simply for showing up—in hopes that it would draw the world’s attention to the country’s enormous beauty and vast reserves of natural resources. Ali agreed. "I wanted to establish a relationship between American blacks and Africans," he wrote later. "The fight was about racial problems, Vietnam. All of that." He added: "The Rumble in the Jungle was a fight that made the whole country more conscious."
At 4:30 a.m. on October 30, 60,000 spectators gathered in the moonlight (organizers had timed the fight to overlap with prime time in the U.S.) at the outdoor Stade du 20 Mai to watch the fight. They were chanting "Ali, bomaye" ("Ali, kill him"). The ex-champ had been taunting Foreman for weeks, and the young boxer was eager to get going. When the bell rang, he began to pound Ali with his signature sledgehammer blows, but the older man simply backed himself up against the ropes and used his arms to block as many hits as he could. He was confident that he could wait Foreman out. (Ali’s trainer later called this strategy the "rope-a-dope," because he was "a dope" for using it.)
By the fifth round, the youngster began to tire. His powerful punches became glances and taps. And in the eighth, like "a bee harassing a bear," as one Times reporter wrote, Ali peeled himself off the ropes and unleashed a barrage of quick punches that seemed to bewilder the exhausted Foreman. A hard left and chopping right caused the champ’s weary legs to buckle, and he plopped down on the mat. The referee counted him out with just two seconds to go in the round.
Ali lost his title and regained it once more before retiring for good in 1981. Foreman, meanwhile, retired in 1977 but kept training, and in 1987 he became the oldest heavyweight champ in the history of boxing. Today, the affable Foreman is a minister and rancher in Texas and the father of five daughters and five sons, all named George. He’s also the spokesman for the incredibly popular line of George Foreman indoor grills.

“On February 14, 1973 Elvis Presley visited Muhammad Ali before a fight in Las Vegas, Nevada to give him this “Elvis Style” robe that says ‘People’s Choice” on the back in rhinestones and jewels. Ali thanked Elvis for the robe then went directly to the Las Vegas Convention Center for his fight that night against Joe Bugner. Ali did not wear the “Elvis robe” for his fight that night and he went on to win a unanimous decision. A month later on March 31, 1973, Ali did wear the “Elvis robe” into the ring for his fight against Ken Norton in San Diego, California. Here is a photo of Ali in the ring with the “Elvis robe” on… The television commentator for the fight said ‘That robe was given by Elvis Presley at his last fight in Las Vegas. It cost around $3000.00 and it’s Ali’s pride and joy.” Ali lost the fight and never again wore the robe into the ring again considering it bad luck. He did wear it again in this photo before it was put on display. “Elvis was my close personal friend. He came to my Deer Lake training camp about two years before he died. He told us he didn’t want nobody to bother us. He wanted peace and quiet and I gave him a cabin in my camp and nobody even knew it. When the cameras started watching me train, he was up on the hill sleeping in the cabin. Elvis had a robe made for me. I don’t admire nobody, but Elvis Presley was the sweetest, most humble and nicest man you’d want to know.” – Muhammad Ali”

March 23-24, there was an art exhibit and sale celebrating the world’s most famous living pop artist, Peter Max.
Today, Peter Max is best known for his portraits of celebrities, and the show will feature images of Bruce Springsteen, Taylor swift, and others. Although many artists prefer to pain their subjects live, Max paints from photographs. But he does meet each subject and has a vast network of celebrity connections. The artist has said it would require a “ring binder” to give you a run-down of all his celebrity clients and friends. With friends past and present including Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Michael Douglas, and Muhammad Ali, it is no wonder why he’d need that binder. In fact, Peter Max has reached the rare upper echelon of artists who can be considered celebrities themselves.
Max was not always a famous celebrity portrait painter. His career got its start in the 1960s, when Peter Max paintings single handled propelled the poster craze where psychedelic images became iconic representations of the counter-cultural movement. Although many would have been content to continuing churning out what made them famous, Peter Max was both a visionary artist and visionary. He transitioned his subject matter to keep up with the changing times, which created a reputation for Max as not only a great artist, but a pop artist on the cusp of new trends. In the 1970s, he began creating patriotic images like his Liberty Head series. Max also painted a number of world leaders, including six U.S. Presidents. This experience in portraiture soon lent itself to capturing the likeness of other celebrities.
Peter Max has imbedded himself deep within modern popular culture, where he has been a main stay since the 1960s. It is no wonder he is considered the world’s most famous living pop artist, with a career he has managed to morph and stretch into dominance over the genre for more than 50 years. In addition to the posters, monuments, celebrities, and Presidents, he can also add working as the official artist for the Grammy Awards for 6 years, the Super Bowl, the World Series, the Kentucky Derby, and more.
Because of his long and varied career, each Peter Max fan has their favorite era. For some, he will forever being the psychedelic, 1960s counter-cultural; for others, he will be the man that brought them Taylor Swift on a canvas. Depending on what piece they see, different people link Max to the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, and today. But, throughout all of Peter Max’s career transitions, his style has remained quintessentially Peter Max. The bold, vibrant colors, brushstrokes, and clever use of line, all immediately give away a work of Art as a Max piece. In many ways, Peter Max has it all: An artist that can change with the times to stay fresh and relevant, while also maintaining a signature style. His work is at once always consistent and ever changing. He has a pulse on pop culture, but also a pulse on himself. And maybe that’s what it takes to be the world’ most famous living pop artist.
