Muhammad Ali Black and White Art Print

This item is a large, rectangular black and white art print featuring the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali. It measures approximately 3 feet in height by 2 feet in width, with a thickness of about 0.5 inches, suggesting it is mounted on a rigid substrate like poster board or foam board. The primary image depicts Muhammad Ali from the back, in boxing attire (white shorts), seemingly looking at a wall covered with vintage boxing posters, some of which feature his earlier fight names (e.g., 'Clay vs. Logan'). There is also a smaller inset image on the left depicting Ali in a tropical setting, possibly training. The print includes a significant quote attributed to Muhammad Ali, prominently displayed in white text against the dark background: 'Champions are made from something they have deep inside them, a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.' At the bottom, a small red logo is visible which appears to be the 'Muhammad Ali Enterprises LLC' logo. The print exhibits excellent condition with no visible damage, wear, or repairs. Its monochrome palette gives it a classic, timeless aesthetic, indicative of black and white photography or art prints that gained popularity in the mid to late 20th century. The piece is likely a commemorative or artistic representation of Ali's legacy, possibly produced posthumously or as part of a licensed collection. The overall craftsmanship appears good, with crisp imagery and clear text, mounted on a solid board for display.
