Muhammad Ali is an ambassador to the world, consistently being acclaimed everywhere as Sportsman of the Century. What few people realise, all these years later, is that the legend first took shape in those early years of 1961-1964 in Miami, where he trained with the celebrated Angelo Dundee. It was here that the young Cassius Clay honed his boxing as well as his self-promotional skills, transforming himself into the boxer who spun hilarious doggerel about his opponents and himself, top become both champion and legend. This book is a beautiful and faithful record of that transformation. With over 80 stunning photographs, taken during three extended sessions in the early 1960s, this book captures the young Cassius Clay in tender, almost intimate settings - that would never be duplicated once the spotlights focused on the young boxer - to reveal a personality of extraordinary confidence and charisma.

Flip Schulke has worked as a magazine photojournalist for more than 45 years. He has also been acclaimed for his photographs of Fidel Castro, President John F. Kennedy, James Hoffa, Elvis Presley, Pope Paul and Muhammad Ali. But he is perhaps best known as one of the leading chroniclers of the Civil Rights movement in the United States during the 1960s, of which he has the largest independent collection of photographs in the world. Schulke was a contract photographer for Life magazine for many years and his work has also appeared in National Geographic, Sports Illustrated, Time, Newsweek, The Saturday Evening Post, Der Stem, London Telegraph Sunday Magazine and many others. He has won numerous photojournalism awards. Matt Schudel is a senior writer for the Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
