James Barnor, Muhammad Ali training for a fight at Earls Court London, 1966

Born in 1929 in Accra, James Barnor is considered a pioneer of Ghanaian photography. In 1959, two years after Ghana became an independent nation, Barnor moved to London to broaden his knowledge about photography. During London’s 'Swinging Sixties', he eloquently captured the mood of the time, and the African diaspora’s experiences in the city.

Barnor photographed American boxing legend Muhammad Ali in the days before his match against Brian London at Earl's Court on August 6, 1966. In this photograph Ali is training alongside a reporter and model from Drum magazine, the influential anti-apartheid magazine based in Johannesburg and Africa's first black lifestyle magazine.
