In this photo print, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of London's West End in the 1960s. The legendary Cassius Clay, who would later be known as Muhammad Ali, is captured in a moment of tranquility amidst the chaos that surrounds him. As he prepares for his non-title fight against Henry Cooper, Clay takes a brief respite at a local barbershop.

With an air of confidence and determination on his face, he entrusts himself to the skilled hands of the barber. This intimate act reveals a glimpse into the meticulous preparation required for such high-stakes events.

Arthur Sidey masterfully captures this iconic moment in sports history through his lens.
