Amazon Prime Video has launched an eight-part limited series, 'The Greatest', which explores the life of boxing icon Muhammad Ali. The series is now available for streaming.
The drama focuses on the period when Ali was known as Cassius Clay Jr., specifically the four years between his light-heavyweight gold medal win at the 1960 Olympics in Rome and his heavyweight title victory over Sonny Liston at the age of 22.
Described as the first-ever "authorized scripted series" about Ali, 'The Greatest' has the support of his widow, Lonnie, who serves as an executive producer. The show's direction is influenced by a book written by Ali's brother, Rahaman Ali, who passed away last year aged 82 and is dedicated in episode seven.
