Description
Cassius Clay was 21 years old, brash and brilliant, and not yet the man the world would come to know as Muhammad Ali. The June 10, 1963 issue of Sports Illustrated captured him at the moment of transformation. Posed in front of Big Ben in London ahead of his bout with Henry Cooper, this cover marked his first appearance on the most important magazine in American sports. Within fourteen months, he would defeat Sonny Liston to become heavyweight champion of the world. Within four years, he would refuse induction into the Vietnam War. Within a generation, he would be the most recognized human being on the planet. This cover is where the journey started. A foundational piece of boxing history, graded PSA 7 with white pages.
