King of the World: Muhammed Ali and the Rise of an American Hero by David Remnick

5.0

I appreciate that this book isn't solely about Muhammad Ali. Remnick also provides plenty of context behind heavyweight champions Sonny Liston and Floyd Patterson before and after they were defeated by Ali in the 60s.

I've never really cared about boxing but this biography sums up the importance of the sport within American culture, specifically African-American culture.
