This Limited Edition of 500 prints has been produced from the original oil painting by Patrick J Killian. “I am the greatest” was a claim that echoed around the world for two decades, combining the speed and agility of a lightweight with the size and strength of a heavyweight. Ali’s boxing career spanned over 25 title fights and a reign of seven years at the top, he could truly lay claim to be the greatest champion of all time. This Fine Art Print shows a young Ali in a pre-fight pose.
Each print has been individually numbered and hand signed by the artist Patrick J Killian.

The world has lost a hero and legend
RIP Champ
Regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time. He remains the only three-time lineal world heavyweight champion; he won the title in 1964, 1974, and 1978. Between February 25, 1964, and September 19, 1964, reigned as the undisputed heavyweight champion. He is the only boxer to be named The Ring magazine Fighter of the Year five times. He was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated and the Sports Personality of the Century by the BBC. Nicknamed “The Greatest”, he was involved in several historic boxing matches. Notable among these were the “Fight of the Century”, “Super Fight II” and the “Thrilla in Manila” versus his rival Joe Frazier, the first Liston fight, and “The Rumble in the Jungle” versus George Foreman.
