Summary of Dave Hannigan's Drama In The Bahamas

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On December 29, 1980, the Nevada State Athletic Commission held a hearing to decide whether or not Muhammad Ali would ever box again. The evidence against him was overwhelming. #2 Ali's attorneys tried to prevent the hearing by offering to surrender his license in Nevada, but the commission still voted to retire him. Ali began entertaining the crowd with magic tricks. #3 The fight in Las Vegas was stopped early by the Nevada commission, which accepted Ali’s surrender of his license, and he agreed not to apply for a license to box in the state again. But who had the power to make him stop. #4 Ali was interviewed by the BBC, and while he seemed in good spirits, his speech was often unintelligible. His fans were afraid that he might become a shambling wreck if he kept boxing.
