When Boxing Ruled the World

on BBC One London

This documentary looks back on the golden era of the sport's heavyweight division, which at the dawn of global television broadcasts was dominated by Muhammad Ali. It recalls how Ali's charisma won over the British public, hears from his challengers, and - with Lennox Lewis's first fight as world heavyweight champion going out live on BBC1 early on Sunday morning - shows how British boxing has developed since his reign.
