John Shearer

Ali, along with Puerto Rican light heavyweight Jose Torres (in suit) and others, gather at legendary boxing promoter Chris Dundee's gym in Miami Beach, Fla., in February 1971.


Joe Frazier tests out a band member's trumpet on the set of NBC's long-running Kraft Music Hall variety show, one of many stops on the media circuit preceding the fight.


Muhammad Ali taunts Joe Frazier in Pennsylvania at Frazier's training headquarters. Both Shearer's photos and the 1971 Life article portray the outspoken aggression between the fighters.
