Fighter's Heaven
About Fighter's Heaven
"Fighter's Heaven" is a compound and training facility in Deer Lake, Pennsylvania, United States, built by former professional boxer and heavyweight champion, Muhammad Ali. Ali trained in the facility preparing for numerous fights, such as Rumble in the Jungle in 1974, and Thrilla in Manila in 1975. Located on a wooded hillside, facilities include a small gym, houses for Ali's family and others, and a mosque.
It was open to the public when Ali was present and training; he would often mix with fans and visitors. In his later years, after he retired from boxing, it was closed. After his 2016 death it was reopened and serves as a museum. In 2023 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
