Ali vs. Frazier was one of the greatest rivalries in the history of American sports and arguably the greatest rivalry in boxing. “The Fight of the Century” was the epic final match-up between longtime opponents Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier for the title of undisputed heavyweight champion of the world. Narrated by actor Liev Schreiber, and featuring interviews with Frazier and Ali promoters along with classic footage of the fight, HBO’s “Thrilla In Manila” explores the myth and the power of the epic battle that cemented the separate but intertwined legacies of two of boxing’s greatest competitors. – todd williams
