Don King - Das gibt's nur in Amerika (1997)
Er beginnt als Krimineller, tötet gar zwei Menschen, wofür er nur vier Jahre im Knast verbringt, überredet Weltmeister Ali zu einem Wohltätigkeitskampf und startet seine schillernde Promoterkarriere… Fesselnd, vielschichtig, preisgekrönt: nicht nur für Fans des Boxsports.
Der Regisseur: John Herzfeld
