Förlagstext:
Ken Regan was a young photographer in 1964 when he covered Muhammad
Ali's first fight: his historic victory over Sonny Liston in Miami
Beach. This began a lifelong love affair with the sport of boxing. For
the next four decades, Regan chronicled the greatest fights and fighters
of the age. His extraordinary photographs include many of the most
enduring images ever created in the annals of boxing, as well as
portraits of notable trainers, managers, promoters, writers, and the
whole panoply of celebrities associated with the sport.
Featuring some
of the greatest ring action in boxing history, Knockout takes us from
sparring sessions and press conferences to weigh-ins and post-fight
sessions.
Knockout also features Regan's stories and firsthand account of his
photographic journey into the heart of boxing. Beginning with his early
magazine work shooting prizefights, Regan developed close personal
friendships with some of the greatest boxers and captured intimate
moments of these fighters with their families at home and on the road.
With numerous black-and-white and color images, many seen here for the
first time, Knockout is one of the most celebrated books ever published
on the subject of boxing.
