Muhammad Ali: The Story of a Boxing Legend cover

This volume contains 140 outstanding images from Ali's career and life outside the boxing ring, including many taken by celebrated photographer Neil Leifer.

The story of an extraordinary man.

Proclaimed the young fighter from Louisville. Most boxing fans criticised this upstart and few believed he had the skills to justify such a statement. He proved them so very wrong on so many levels.

Muhammad Ali became the greatest heavyweight ever to step into the boxing ring and a compelling presence outside of it – the most recognised man on the planet. Muhammad Ali: The Story of a Boxing Legend charts the fascinating story of an extraordinary man through the words of not just Ali himself, but of those who were lucky enough to bear witness to the legend that was unfolding in front of them.

Tributes include: "Muhammad Ali was not just a champion in the ring, he was a champion of civil rights and a role model for so many people." Prime Minister David Cameron "The sporting universe has just suffered a big loss. Muhammad Ali was my friend, my idol, my hero. Football legend Pele "It was never boring with Muhammad Ali." Broadcaster and interviewer Sir Michael Parkinson
