Exclusive Video | Reelz’s ‘Muhammad Ali: The Greatest’

Earlier this year, the sports world lost a boxing legend when Muhammad Ali passed away at the age of 74. Born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., Ali constantly proved that he was a world class boxer and he went on to become an unexpected counterculture icon when he rejected his draft notice and renamed himself Muhammad Ali.

Aside from Ali’s obvious skills in the ring, he was also a fantastic interview subject whose trash talking skills were second-to-none. But Ali wasn’t always such a tiger on the mic. In this exclusive clip from Reelz’s upcoming special, Muhammad Ali: The Greatest; the origins of Ali’s vocal outbursts are explored as he followed the example set by another boxer and realized that he could be more than just another humble fighter.
