Kinshasa — The Greatest IX

The boldest print in the series: a jade-green champion, fists raised, against solid black with a sharp white panel behind him. Clean, graphic and triumphant, with the raw edge of hand-pulled paint along the top.

The story

Muhammad Ali (1942–2016), born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, called himself "The Greatest" and then proved it. In 1974's "Rumble in the Jungle" in Kinshasa, Zaire, he leaned on the ropes and let the heavily favored George Foreman tire himself out, then knocked him out in the eighth round to win back the heavyweight title. It is still one of the most famous fights ever.
