The "Rumble in the Jungle", Muhammad Ali fighting in Zaire, was one of Don King's first ventures as a professional boxing promoter. The larger-than-life King has been a controversial figure due to his manslaughter conviction, controversial business tactics and irascible personality. These five consecutive 35mm black and white negative series are excellent images and capture what makes this man most interesting. In NRMT condition.
The original negatives and images in this collection are by the personal photographer of Ali's manager Herbert Muhammad. Unpublished, they have not seen the light of day for five decades. Recently discovered, they come with the photographer’s rights. All of the negs/transparencies are unique, “Type I” images that can be used to make prints and products of the finest quality and huge scale.
