The story of an extraordinary man.

Proclaimed the young fighter from Louisville. Most boxing fans criticised this upstart and few believed he had the skills to justify such a statement. He proved them so very wrong on so many levels.

Muhammad Ali became the greatest heavyweight ever to step into the boxing ring and a compelling presence outside of it – the most recognised man on the planet. Muhammad Ali: The Story of a Boxing Legend charts the fascinating story of an extraordinary man through the words of not just Ali himself, but of those who were lucky enough to bear witness to the legend that was unfolding in front of them.

Alan Goldstein served as a sportswriter for the Baltimore Sun for 40 years, with professional boxing and basketball as his primary assignments.

A native New Yorker, but long time Baltimore resident, he died aged 82 in March 2016.
