The trunks worn by Muhammad Ali, the greatest boxer of all time, during his victory over "Smoking" Joe Frazier in The Thrilla in Manila are being auctioned.

Biaggio Ali Walsh used to think about fighting only when someone wanted to see if the grandson of “The Greatest” was any good himself.

2013: Former boxing champion Ken Norton, who rose to the top of the boxing world in 1973 by outdueling Muhammad Ali, dies at age 70 in Henderson, Nevada. Norton had been in poor health for several years after sustaining a series of strokes. He was best known for his 12-round victory over Ali on March 31, 1973, when he famously broke Ali's jaw. Norton and Ali would fight twice more, with Ali narrowly winning both return bouts. Norton lost the WBC title in his first defense of it, a 15-round split decision loss to Larry Holmes in 1978.
