Summer 1960, Rome — a cocky and confident young man from Louisville’s West End laced up a pair of boxing gloves and stepped into a ring. He left with an Olympic gold medal and the world’s awe and attention for decades thereafter.

In the half-century since his victory, he went on to be the first boxer in history to win three world heavyweight championships, including fights that redefined not only the sport of boxing, but an athlete’s role as entertainer and icon; earned the admiration and respect of much of the planet for his political and spiritual courage; became the international idol of millions as the embodiment of fearless aspiration and achievement; and, as a humanitarian and ambassador of goodwill, ultimately received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, lit the Olympic flame, and inspired the creation of the Muhammad Ali Center.

On Monday, USA Today Sports Weekly is releasing a Muhammad Ali special edition titled “50 Years of Greatness.”

And you, sports / reading / Louisville fan, got to hear about it first. . . .
