    Davis Miller was a grieving, sickly child whose life was transformed the first time he witnessed Muhammad Ali proclaim his greatness. With Ali as his source of inspiration, young Davis rises above being bullied to forge his own path that ultimately lands him face to face in the same ring as his hero.

    In this episode, Davis and his co-host Craig Mortali share their experiences being empowered by Ali. Then, they sit down with former heavyweight champion James "Buster" Douglas and his trainer John Russell to reminisce how Ali inspired Douglas to make history.
