Large 1964 photograph of young Cassius Clay leaping in the arms of his trainer after becoming the new Heavyweight Champion of the World. He beat the seemingly unbeatable Sonny Liston and despite being even more unpopular than the former champ, he would eventually earn the respect and admiration of a country! A rare image from one of the most important fights of all time and rare in this oversized format. Condition is nice with a crease on the lower left corner.
