Muhammad Ali in Madras with MGR : A time to remember

As the entire globe mourns the death of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, we take you back 36 years to January 1980. I was a time when the world-class boxer came to Chennai to fight a bout with Jimmy Ellis. What’s more, we got to see Ali and MGR, hold hands on the stage, an electrifying sight to see the star-politician and inspirational boxer together.
