All smiles with arms triumphantly raised, Cassius Clay - before changing to Muhammad Ali upon converting to the Nation of Islam in the mid-1960s - is pictured in this circa-1962 Associated Press wire photo encapsulated as Type 3 by PSA and deemed "Authentic". At 7" x 9 1/2", the caption beneath the photo explains that the image was taken in the dressing room after Clay's third round knockout victory over Charley Powell. There is a "Jan 26 1963 Reference Department" stamp on the reverse. With no visible condition issues for the photo aside from a pair of surface lines over the upper right corner, we should note a few scratches and marks to the PSA holder.
