Muhammad Ali ha sido una de las mayores leyendas que ha dado el mundo del boxeo. Con tan solo 18 años se convirtió en campeón olímpico en los Juegos de Roma de 1960. Cuatro años después, ya como profesional, se proclamó por primera vez campeón mundial de los grandes pesos. Perdió su corona cuando se negó a combatir en Vietnam y durante más de tres años no pudo subirse a los cuadriláteros. Volvió al ring en 1970 y recuperó su cetro en una mítica pelea contra George Foreman celebrada en Kinshasa, la capital de Zaire, el 30 de octubre de 1974. Fue derrotado en 1975 pero ese mismo año volvió a erigirse, por tercera vez, en campeón mundial. Pero Muhammad Ali no ha sido solamente un gran deportista, también fue un luchador incansable por los derechos de la población negra combatiendo la discriminación racial durante los años sesenta.
