About this title

Synopsis

On 19 July 1972, Muhammad Ali defeated Al "Blue" Lewis in 11 rounds at Croke Park, Dublin. It was an extraordinary week both for Ali and the sporting and cultural history of Ireland. Thirty years on, through interviews with dozens of those whose paths Ali crossed, Hannigan presents this narrative.
