BBC World Service - Outlook, The Boxer who Defied Gaddafi

Not sure if this post belongs on this board or somewhere else but I found myself listening to the BBC world service a couple of evenings ago and stumbled across this little gem of a story.

I think I only caught it half way through but it's story told by an ex Libyan boxer, an African champion who was subjected to the brutal Gaddafi regime and was gifted with a brief and unexpected moment of joy by none other than Muhammad Ali!

Probably more of a midweek post huh?

I did not know Gadaffi banned boxing just like Sweden.

Ali is an amazing man!
