    Ali On Speedball in New Orleans. This photo of Muhammad Ali was captured by Chris when Ali was training on the speedball before his rematch fight against Leon Spinks New Orleans (1978). The fight was estimated to have been watched by a record 2 billion viewers worldwide, in some 80 nations. Ali regained the WBA heavyweight title and avenged his split decision loss to Spinks from seven months prior. He also became the first man to win the World Heavyweight Championship three times.

    Each photograph comes in a contemporary classic black box frame. The box frame has a fillet which creates a space between the print and the glazing. So there is no contact with the glass. The whole effect is that of a deep box.

    For protection, the photograph is mounted behind 3mm Waterwhite acrylic glass which keeps the photograph safe from harmful UV rays and acts as an anti-reflective shield.
