Our Henry - Canvas of Ali clash, signed by Sir Henry Cooper



Sir Henry Cooper is one of British sport's most popular and charismatic personalities of the past century and even today, some 35 years after he hung up his gloves for the final time, 'Our Enry' remains a national icon.

Born in south London in 1934, Cooper grew up in the shadow of the Second World War and displayed all the resolve and determination in the ring that his peers had to show in everyday life and by 1970 he was officially recognised as the British, European and Commonwealth heavyweight champion.

It was however his two famous clashes with Muhammad Ali in the 1960s for which he is best and most fondly remembered. The two men first fought in a non-title fight at Wembley in 1963 and Cooper stunned the boxing fraternity when he floored Ali in the fourth round with 'Enry's Ammer' - his trademark left hook.

A dazed Ali eventually picked himself up and won the fight but with one iconic punch, Cooper had engrained himself in the national consciousness.

The rematch three years later was more one-sided as Ali confirmed his monicker as 'The Greatest' but Cooper's reputation remained untarnished. He retired in 1970 after controversially losing to Joe Bugner on points but is still regarded as one of our greatest ever heavyweights and held the British title for 12 years.

Cooper was named the BBC Sports Personality of the Year in both 1967 and 1970 and he was knighted by The Queen in 1999.

Own a piece of sporting history

Henry Cooper is one of the greatest heavyweights in the history of English boxing and this beautiful canvas captures him in the ring against Muhammad Ali at Wembley Stadium in 1963.

The canvas is personally signed Cooper himself and is a stunning piece of sporting memorabilia that shows the aftermath of the legendary left hook that floored Ali in the fourth round of the fight.

Each 20x16 canvas is issued with a certificate of authenticity signed by our managing director.
