The fights, his life, the man

 

The incredible true story of the most famous boxer in the world. His legacy is unmatched in and out of the boxing ring. Ali remains 'the greatest' boxer that has ever lived. This programme is the definitive biography of Muhammad Ali, the true story of his ups and downs, both in and out of the ring. With the backdrop of racial segregation find out how a young, loud, overconfident boy from Southern USA started on his long journey to success. Defeating Sonny Liston, Ali (born Clay) would carry on the legacy left by the likes of Johnson and Louis. But Ali's life is as peppered with lows as it is with highs. His refusal to be drafted for service in Vietnam and being stripped of his title, three failed marriages, and his continuous struggle against the authorities would not make Ali falter. This programmes includes fantastic footage of his fights such as 'The Rumble In The Jungle' and 'The Thriller In Manilla', and also contains rare behind the scenes archive footage, giving us a greater insight into the man. This programme is an unmissable essential biography for fans of boxing and Ali alike.
