Ex-champ Muhammad Ali shown as private, humble man
Gene Kilroy, Ali’s aide since 1970, portrays the boxer as shy, kind, and public persona distinct from the ring. He predicts Ali will fight Spinks again and become the first three-time heavyweight champion, then retire. Kilroy cites Ali’s generosity, including a $100,000 donation to a Jewish seniors home, and his compassion for the underprivileged.
