Date: 2023-06-04

British heavyweight boxer Henry Cooper is remembered not only for his formidable boxing prowess (11 years British heavyweight champion) but as one genuinely humble and decent fellow. Both friends with and admired by Mohammed Ali, Ali once said he'd never been hit harder by anyone after Henry Cooper delivered him to the canvas, and stated it was unfortunate that Cooper cut easily as outcomes certainly could have been different. In a brief departure from vintage music, this great interview to celebrate the life and career of a true legend of British sport.
