Farewell to the ' Greatest'

on BBC One London

Muhammad AH made his final ring appearance in London this week when he boxed a five-round exhibition bout on promoter Mike Barrett 's Royal Albert Hall bill.
Harry Carpenter , who has followed Ali's amazing career since he won an Olympic gold medal at Rome in 1960 as Cassius Clay , describes the action, and also recalls some magical memories of the man who, inside the ring. was the only fighter to win the World Heavyweight Championship three times, and outside it had a talent for talk and entertainment unmatched in sport.
