Muhammad Ali makes
a face at his next opponent, wrestler Antonio Inoki, during a luncheon at the
Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan. In the background is Jun Rhee, a Korean
taekwondo expert who was said to be teaching karate to Ali in preparation for
the exhibition event that would be called "unusual" by the more generous
and "a farce" by others.
