Still the Greatest: Muhammad Ali’s Triumphant Legacy
6:30 pm
The Paley Museum, 25 West 52 Street, NYC
2024 marks one of the greatest anniversaries in Muhammad Ali’s illustrious career: the 50th anniversary of “Rumble in the Jungle,” a historic October 1974 victory over the unbeaten George Foreman in Zaire.
The Paley Center celebrates Muhammad’s amazing legacy with an all-star panel of those who knew Ali and boxers who have been inspired by his greatness. We will explore how Muhammad’s iconic image has been made relevant for a younger generation, especially with the recent release of Undisputed, the first video game featuring boxing in ten years, while also spotlighting his artistry. Our panelists will discuss why Muhammad Ali is considered the “Greatest of All Time,” and still inspires the world eight years after his death.
Following the panel, join us to demo the new video game Undisputed and face off head-to-head against Roy Jones, Jr.
This event is made possible by generous support from The Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation.

Roy Jones, Jr., Former World Champ in Four Weight Classes, Olympic Boxer
