About Fighter's Heaven

Fighter's Heaven is a training compound in the hills near Deer Lake, Pennsylvania, where Muhammad Ali prepared for major bouts starting in 1972. The owners are restoring the camp so visitors can learn about Ali's life and career. The former gym now holds a small museum, and guided tours walk visitors through the grounds. The property also serves as a venue for meetings, retreats, and group or family events, with bunkhouses and a kitchen on site.
