“Ali’s manager roused me from my motel at 4:30 in the morning shouting through the door, ‘Grab your pants and your camera, the champ is running.’ Soon we were driving very slowly on a rural blacktop past a letterbox on a wooden post. Nobody was around. Up ahead Muhammad Ali was running, dressed in grey sweatpants and sweatshirt, with heavy army boots. I scrambled out of the car and started shooting Ali from behind as he jogged. His breath was visible in the early morning cold. This is the first shot I took - Ali running towards the rising sun.” Peter Angelo Simon
