Fighting Words

Muhammad Ali was perhaps the greatest athlete of the twentieth century. But Ali was never just a boxer; he was a fighter.

In Fighting Words, editor Keith McArthur curates the very best writing about Muhammad Ali from his vilification at refusing to go to Vietnam to his re-emergence as a saintly hero at the 1996 Olympics.

This collection brings together writing from those who fought against him, those he inspired and from Ali himself.

Fighting Words is a must read not just for people interested in boxing, but for anyone interested in modern America.

Reviews

“

If you're a Muhammad Ali fan, and who isn't, you'll want to read this book. . . . The best writing about Ali in one place. Loved it.

Ali comes across as a tragically flawed figure in some of the finest sports writing I have ever read. He is never loveable but always compelling.
