301 pages : illustrations ; 20 cm BIOGRAPHY: SPORT. Muhammed Ali cast a blinding light onto his sport, on the tumultuous times he in part initiated and on all of those who surrounded him. That includes the fighters brave enough to stand alone, across the ring from the greatest heavyweight champion of all time. Ali's own story has been told again and again, but the stories of those who faced him have, by and large, been ignored. For each, the moments alone with Ali changed their careers, changed their lives, and affected them for ever. Facing Ali tells the story of fifteen men from around the world, from famous names like Joe Frazier, Joe Bugner, George Foreman and Henry Cooper to lesser lights like Tunney Hunsaker and Jurgen Blin. Each man, many for the first time, tell their stories in their own words adult STEPHEN BRUNT Originally published: London: Sidgwick & Jackson, 2002 Ali, Muhammad 1942-2016 Boxers (Sports) Boxing 796.830922 9781509844012 PPAK 231226 20231226155815.0 eng
