Synopsis: On the night in 1964 that Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) stepped into the ring with Sonny Liston, he was widely regarded as an irritating freak who danced and talked way too much. Six rounds later Ali was not only the new world heavyweight boxing champion: He was “a new kind of black man” who would shortly transform America’s racial politics, its popular culture and its notions of heroism. “King of the World” does justice to the speed, grace, courage, humour and ebullience of one of the greatest athletes and irresistibly dynamic personalities of our time.
