Muhammad Ali is one of the world's most photographed people, but despite the amount of coverage he commands, an air of mystique still surrounds the man dubbed "Sportsman of the Century" by the BBC. Lebanese-born photographer Sonia Katchian had unprecedented access to Ali during the '70s, and her ALI Folio shows the fighter at his most intimate and human. The series documents Ali at the height of his career, including his world-stopping Rumble in the Jungle and Thriller in Manila victories — but the focus is as much on the family man and private citizen as the heavyweight champion of the world.
