Eyestorm are pleased to have published four brand new limited edition photographs of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali by acclaimed photographer Bill Peronneau. Taken at the Pocono Mountain Training Camp at Deer Lake, Pennsylvania in 1974 while the athlete was preparing for the ‘Rumble In the Jungle' world heavyweight contest against George Foreman in Zaire, these intimately energetic portraits provide a rare opportunity to see Ali in the midst of his exercise regime - skipping, flexing and sparing with his own reflection.

Peronneau was given rare access to Ali's private cabin retreat after the two became friends while the photographer was working as a photojournalist documenting the civil rights movement in Philadelphia, where Ali lived at the time.
The result is a remarkable look into the private life of one of the world's most well-known sportsman.
There are four new prints in total, three featuring the boxer himself, the fourth an unconventional portrait showing only his personal training gear on the wooden floorboards.

Each in an edition of just 50, the new prints will be at the pre-publication price of
£500 +VAT each or £1,800 for the set of four until Saturday 28th February 2009 and
will then rise to the RRP price of £600 +VAT each from 1st March 2009. www.eyestorm.com
