The vibrant life of the boxing legend told anew. Muhammad Ali, a three-time undisputed world champion, is one of the most colorful figures of the 20th century. His story is closely intertwined with the major political and cultural conflicts of his time. For many, he is a symbol of the fight for freedom and against oppression. However, we have never come close to understanding the man behind this heroic saga. Bestselling author and sports biographer Jonathan Eig recounts this extraordinary life based on previously unknown sources. The real Ali was a pacifist and a boxer, a Muslim and an unfaithful husband, a Black man who became a symbol in the fight against racism but also humiliated his peers – a life full of breaks and contradictions.
