Perhaps the best way to view the center is to look only at the outside. I visited the center on 21 February 2006.

The old Muhammad Ali Training Camp situated in Deer Lake, Pennsylvania, not far from Allentown. Ali used it to train here 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).
Ali went to fight Oscar Bonavena at Madison Square Garden on December 7, 1970. After a tough 14 rounds, Ali stopped Bonavena in the 15th, paving the way for a title fight against Joe Frazier.For more visit

“This monumental close-up portrait of a fiercely determined, focused, and undaunted Muhammad Ali shows him dripping with sweat after a training session. Ali, the heavyweight boxing champion of the world, had become one of the most celebrated athletes of the 20th century. Yet his reputation was tarnished after announcing in 1966 that he would refuse to serve in the US military. Ali, who had converted to Islam in 1964, filed for conscientious objector status, indicating his opposition to the war in Vietnam on religious and ethical grounds. Although he had once been nicknamed ‘the Greatest’ and was beloved by many, critics in the American press now condemned him as a ‘shameless traitor.’ Parks presents him as invincible.” [Accompanying text]
A big change came in 1977: shortly after losing a fight to American boxer Jimmy Young, Foreman gave up boxing and turned to religion, becoming an ordained minister in 1978. He later founded the George Foreman Youth and Community Center and the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Muhammad Ali (* 17. Januar 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky als Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.) ist ein ehemaliger US-amerikanischer Boxer. Er gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Schwergewichtsboxer aller Zeiten und herausragender Athlet des 20. Jahrhunderts. Im Jahr 1999 wurde er vom Internationalen Olympischen Komitee zum „Sportler des Jahrhunderts“ gewählt. Auch außerhalb des Boxrings sorgte Ali für Schlagzeilen. So lehnte er öffentlich den Vietnamkrieg ab, verweigerte den Wehrdienst und unterstützte die Emanzipationsbewegung der Afroamerikaner in den 1960er Jahren.
“If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it then I can achieve it.” - Muhammad Ali
