Like any art form, boxing tells stories of struggle, triumph, and identity across generations.
Guest Curator Paul Farber (@paul_farber ) invited Rasheen Farlow (@rasheenfarlow ), Global Brand Strategy and Partnerships for the World Boxing Council, and Philadelphia-born boxer Nahir Albright (@prettyboyw00 ) to our Prints, Drawings and Photographs department to have a sneak peek of the Rising Up exhibition before it opened to the public.
Together, they reflected on how Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali brought boxing to the global stage through the “Fight of the Century,” and how the iconic green-and-gold championship belt became a wearable monument to greatness.
Since its founding in 1963, the World Boxing Council (@wbcboxing ) has championed the sport across more than 160 nations, showing up for boxing in arenas, gyms, and championship rings around the world.

Two nights, two belts, one historic city. ✨
In collaboration with the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the WBC presented two exclusive commemorative belts during the opening weekend of “Rising Up: Rocky and the Making of Monuments.”
Conceived and executed by Rasheen Farlow, Global Brand Strategy and Cultural Partnerships for the WBC, one belt was presented to Joe Frazier’s family in the city where he made history, while the second became a permanent part of the exhibition. 🏛️
