Ail [2001]
Hello friends, I'm here with another interesting movie title Ali and I would like to share you with here.
The movie is about Cassius Clay, a young boxer, wins his debut championship and goes on to reach new heights of fame through his conversion to Islam, his refusal to fight in Vietnam and other controversial actions.
It begins with Cassius clay Jr. before his championship debut against the heavyweight champion Sonny Liston. Clay taunts Liston, then dominates the early rounds of the match.
Halfway through, he complains of a burning feeling in his eyes (implying that Liston has tried to cheat) and says he is unable to continue.
His trainer/manager Angelo Dundee gets him to keep fighting.
Once Clay can see again, he dominates the fight and Liston quits before round seven, making Clay the second-youngest heavyweight champion at the time after Floyd Patterson.
Clay spends time with Malcolm X and is invited to the home of Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad, where he is given the name Muhammad Ali.
His father, Cassius Clay Sr., disapproves. Ali marries Sonji Roi, an ex-Playboy Bunny, although she is not Muslim and does not abide sex segregation.
Ali goes to Africa and meets with Malcolm X, but later refuses to speak to him, honoring the wishes of Elijah Muhammad. He is distraught over the assassination of Malcolm X.
Upon returning to America, Ali fights Sonny Liston a second time and knocks him out in the first round.
He and Sonji divorce after she objects to various obligations Muslim women have.
Ali refuses conscription for the Vietnam War and is stripped of his boxing license, passport and title, and sentenced to five years in prison.
Ali marries 17-year-old Belinda Boyd. After a three-year hiatus, his conviction is overturned in Clay v. United States and in his comeback fight, he goes against Jerry Quarry and wins by technical knockout in three rounds.
Ali attempts to regain the heavyweight championship against Joe Frazier.
In the “Fight of the century”, Frazier generally has the upper hand against Ali and wins by decision, the first loss of Ali's career.
Frazier later loses the championship to George Foreman.
Foreman and Ali go to Kinshasa, Zaire, for the Rumble in the jungle fight. There, Ali meets Veronica Porches and has an affair with her.
After reading rumors of his infidelity in newspapers, his wife Belinda travels to Zaire to confront him.
Find out what happened next as his wife Belinda travels to Zaire to confront him as it gets interesting.
