Episode Synopsis


The return of the champion ended with Atlanta’s most famous armed robbery in history.On Oct. 26, 1970, Muhammad Ali returned to the right for the first time since his three-year suspension from boxing for refusing to be inducted into the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War.
The fight was being held in Atlanta at the Municipal Auditorium - site of Friday night wrestling, all-night gospel singing and President William Howard Taft’s 1909 pre-inaugural possum dinner - and what happened in its aftermath will live forever in Atlanta lore.
