He was born in Louisville Kentucky as Cassius Clay, but he became Muhammad Ali here in Miami.  In 1960, a young boxer  came to Miami, determined to become world heavyweight champion. In the end, he became something more—a legend. Muhammad Ali: Made in Miami is the story of that evolution, as well as a chronicle of Miami's historic black community and the famed Fifth Street Gym. See why, without Miami, there might never have been a Muhammad Ali.  

As we mourn the death of this awe-inspiring boxing legend, we are reminded Ali's roots run deep in South Florida and WLRN-TV was there to bring this story to light.
