On June 3, 2016, Muhammad Ali — the three-time heavyweight champion, Olympic gold medalist, civil rights activist, and one of the most transformative figures in sports and culture — passed away at the age of 74. Ali first rose to prominence after stunning the world with his upset victory over Sonny Liston in 1964, and shortly thereafter changed his name to Muhammad Ali, declaring allegiance to his Muslim faith. In the ring, he was poetry in motion — a heavyweight who could “float like a butterfly and sting like a bee” — defeating legends like Joe Frazier and George. Outside the ring, his refusal to fight in Vietnam and his lifelong advocacy for justice, dignity, and peace made him a hero to. By the time of his passing, Ali was no longer just “The Greatest” in boxing — he was a citizen of the world, revered for his humanity as much as his athleticism.

Hosts: Jason Beckerman & Derek Kaufman
