Consistently ranked among the greatest sports photographs of all time, Neil Leifer’s dramatic overhead shot of Muhammad Ali’s victory over Cleveland Williams at the 1966 World Heavyweight title fight is also the photographer’s own favourite shot from his fifty-year career. ‘It can never be taken again,’ Leifer has said. ‘Today the ring is a series of ads. You’d never get the clean canvas.’ Captured through an impressive feat of timing and forward planning – the camera was hung on a rig 80 feet above the ring, and activated using remote control – the historic moment is presented with stunning formal impact.
