* Men's Fitness *

'A forensic examination of the greatest sportsman of his era, through the eyes of the people who knew him best, and an essential addition to the library'

* The Independent *

'Ali was the quintessential sports icon and media star who in his 20-year boxing career played into his image as a larger than life athlete who basked in the spotlight,but was actually an intensely private man. Particularly poignant in the book are the interviews with four of Ali's adult children... Rafiq digs into Ali's technical prowess up close with interviews with his opponents... giving the inside view unscripted recollections of Ali's boxing style: the knockouts, the rope-a-dope strategies, and Ali's mental tactics in the ring...Rafiq's interview sessions with sports journalists are also revelatory'
