The Beatles, just 11 days into their maiden US Tour meeting 22 year old Cassius Clay just days before beating Sonny Liston and becoming World Heavyweight Champion. 5th Street Gym. Miami Beach, Florida. February 18th, 1964 [3000 x 1889]
Apparently the Beatles wanted to meet the World Heavyweight Champion and not "That loudmouth who’s going to lose" as John Lennon put it , Sonny Liston however didn’t have any interest in meeting a rock band a few days before the big fight so they opted to meet Cassius Clay instead. I hope John didn’t bet on Sonny, lol.
