Description
Note: Description Updated 11/22.
Muhammad Ali Underwater. B&W, 1961. Resin-coated silver gelatin. Older print. Muhammad Ali in fighter's trunks, underwater. Apparently Ali was scheduled for a photoshoot with Schulke, and when he found out that Schulke was well known for his underwater photographs, decided to tell Schulke that he trained underwater as an excuse to have Schulke take one of his famous underwater shots. Allegedly, he told Schulke that training underwater provided resistance training, similar to how boxers trained with heavier gloves and shoes prior to a match. Signed and inscribed to Neil Leifer by photographer, "For Neil - were we ever so young? As far as photogs. go, you're the greatest!" 20 x 16 in.
