Muhammad Ali (2021)

S1E1 Round One: The Greatest (1942-1964)

Cassius Clay transforms from an amateur boxer into an Olympic gold medalist in 1960. Transitioning to the professional scene in Miami, he refines his boxing techniques while mastering the art of self-promotion. During this time, he discreetly aligns with the Nation of Islam and develops a close relationship with Malcolm X. In a stunning turn of events, Clay astounds the world in 1964 by defeating the heavily favored Sonny Liston to claim the heavyweight title.
