The Ali Files

His Fights, His Foes, His Fees, His Feats, His Fate

About this book

Written by a former publicist and friend of Ali's, an original analysis of one of the sports world's greatest superstars
This book is for all Ali fans. It's been more than 30 years since Muhammad Ali last threw a punch, yet he remains unquestionably the best-known athlete of all time. A whole generation now only know the legend of The Greatest, never saw him fight, and yet are in awe of the man and his fantastic fistic feats. The Ali Files gives the facts behind the
fable. Author Norman Giller became friends with Ali when he worked as his European publicist, and he has gathered many other intimate eyewitnesses—opponents, referees, trainers, sparring partners, celebrity fans, and ringside reporters—to Ali's astonishing adventures in and out of the ring. Millions of words have been written about ringmaster Ali, but few books have concentrated on the 61 professional contests that turned him into a sporting legend. The Ali Files will give you a ringside seat to the greatest boxing career of all time.
