In August 1963, with his first heavy-weight bout against then-world champion Sonny Liston still on the horizon, the fast-talking 22-year-old Cassius Clay was viewed by the media and fight fanatics as a long shot, with smart money and conventional wisdom heavily backing Liston. In this portrait of Cassius Clay, dressed up in a theatrical knight's costume, photographer Hank Parker captures a double irony: the future heavyweight champion of the world and future convert-to-Islam - Mohammad Ali - posing as medieval dragon-slayer; an unforgettable image as light-hearted as it is lion-hearted.
