The Final Victory

THE FINAL VICTORY A Tribute to Muhammad Ali 3rd Championship Heavyweight Belt Over 170 photo/art/graphics of the last and most important victory of boxing legend, Muhammad Ali, clinching him as "THE Greatest of All Time" at The Superdome on September 15, 1978. This artistic photographic archive is being published as a Coffee Table Book for the first time. After 38 years, the Kodak 35 mm film has been restored, digitized, computer enhanced and artistically re-rendered. The photographs document the moments before, during and after the fight and include images of the fighters, Muhammad Ali, Leon Spinks, along with ABC Sports announcers, Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford and Chris Shenkel. Additionally, images of former Heavyweight Champion, 'Smokin" Joe Frazier, life long trainer, Angelo Dundee, ringman, Bundini Brown, plus actor "Rocky" Sylvester Stallone and actress, Edy Williams. Ms. William's much talked about, but never seen images of her infamous topless performance in the ring just prior to the fight, are published here for the first time in print publication. The Final Victory defines for the historical record, Muhammad Ali's stunning sports achievement to regain the Heavyweight Championship Belt for an unprecedented third time. Throughout the creative photo/art plates are numerous moving quotations of some of the greatest celebrities, sportsmen, sportswomen, writers, broadcasters, fighters, trainers, super stars, Presidents, international figures, authors, all commenting on the fascinating aspects of the life and times of Muhammad Ali. Additionally, there are some of the most famous and profound quotations of "The Greatest" himself, portraying Muhammad Ali as never before. The Final Victory is the result of over three years of post production research and art creation. When first published as an e-book in 2013 on Amazon, there were less than 100 images and fewer quotes. This Coffee Table Book has been expanded to 170 pages with many more quotes added since the passing of Muhammad Ali this summer of 2016. The Final Victory give impetus to the reason why thousands of books, articles, movies, videos, and magazine articles have been written about what actor Will Smith has claimed Muhammad Ali to be; "The Greatest Figure of the 20th Century." The Final Victory captures the pinnacle moments of this awesome event as the crowning achievement in all of boxing history and the unassailable reason why Muhammad Ali is revered as "The Greatest of All Time." The Final Victory does not presume to be the last book published about Muhammad Ali, but will only add to the new chapters yet to be written of his enduring legacy,
