Holding a book titled "Towards Understanding Islam" written by Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, Ali delves into the depths of his faith while in London for his highly anticipated rematch against British Heavyweight Henry Cooper at Highbury on May 20th, 1966. The image captures not only Ali's remarkable boxing prowess but also his unwavering commitment to religion and spirituality.

This powerful image serves as a testament to his multifaceted identity—a heavyweight boxer who transcended boundaries through sport while remaining deeply rooted in his faith. Bela Zola skillfully captures this significant moment from history through their lens.
