SYNOPSIS:
Discovered by a Missouri prison chaplain (Rick Roberts), Sonny Liston (Ving
Rhames) made an early impression in the jail boxing comp. Paroled in 1952, he went on to a successful (and colourful) pro boxing career, winning the world heavyweight championship with a first round knock out of Floyd Patterson (Troy Amos-Ross) in September 1962 - a crown taken from him by Cassius Clay’s infamous ‘Phantom Punch’ in May 1965, one of the most remarkable moments in sport history. After a year off, he went on to fight until 1970. In between, Liston had numerous runs ins, if not with racism then the mob, if not the mob, then the law. He was found dead by his wife, Geraldine (Stacey Dash) in their Las Vegas home on January 5, 1971 - his death remains a mystery.
