The film is preceded by material chronicling the build-up to the battle, including an interview with George Foreman , as well as with Ali's trainer Angelo Dundee. Director Leon Gast (1996,PG)
Champion, at 12 midnight, concludes the double bill of films on the subject of boxing ♦ See Films: pp 56-67 *****
11.25-12.00 One Punch Too Many
Muhammad Ali continued to box for years after his physical peak and won a further 13 world title fights after regaining the crown at the age of 32. However, as interviews and archive footage illustrate, the grace of yore had deteriorated, and both his financial and personal affairs were in turmoil. Many people felt his third bout against Joe Frazier plumbed hitherto unseen depths of savagery and, having ignored advice to quit, the last days of Ali's career were overshadowed by the onset of Parkinson's disease.
