In this photograph captured by Monte Fresco, we are transported back to the vibrant 1960s. The image showcases the legendary boxer Sugar Ray Robinson in a moment of pure joy and playfulness. Dressed in a dapper suit, he is seen channeling the iconic entertainer Sammy Davis Junior with impeccable precision. Robinson's infectious smile radiates as he jumps energetically, perfectly embodying Davis' charismatic stage presence. Adorned with a city bowler hat and umbrella, his attire adds an element of whimsy to the scene. It is evident that Robinson's larger-than-life personality extends beyond the boxing ring. This particular snapshot was taken during Robinson's visit to London for his highly anticipated fight against Terry Downes on September 5th, 1962. As one of boxing's most revered figures, Robinson effortlessly captivates audiences not only with his athletic prowess but also with his ability to bring humor into every aspect of life. The photo captures a rare glimpse into the lighter side of this sporting icon—a testament to both his versatility as an entertainer and his genuine love for making others smile. Monte Fresco skillfully immortalizes this moment in time through their lens, allowing us to relish in the sheer joy exuding from Sugar Ray Robinson as he pays homage to another great artist while leaving an indelible mark on history himself.
