Renowned economist Nicholas Stern chooses 'the Greatest' - boxer Muhammad Ali. With Matthew Parris. From 2017.

He is also a massive boxing fan and chooses the life of Muhammad Ali to explore with Matthew Parris and sports journalist and boxing commentator Ronald McIntosh.
Not only does Stern admire Ali's prowess in the ring, but more so his fearless stance against the Vietnam War which cost him dearly both personally and professionally.
