Pelé & Ali brings together two of the twentieth century's defining figures. The greatest footballer and the greatest boxer, photographed together, two giants at ease with their own legend. A meeting of icons that transcends sport. This famous 1977 photograph by Richard Drew captures Pelé embracing Muhammad Ali following Pelé’s final professional soccer match with the New York Cosmos on October 1, 1977.
