Sting — The Greatest IV

The highest-contrast print in the series: a blush-pink champion with arms thrown high against deep, inky black. Bold and celebratory, a statement piece for a gym, office or den.

The story

Muhammad Ali (1942–2016), born Cassius Clay in Louisville, Kentucky, called himself "The Greatest" and then proved it. He became a three-time world heavyweight champion, famous for promising to "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." In 1967 he refused induction into the Army on religious grounds and gave up his title rather than his beliefs. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned his conviction in 1971.
