BREAKING: Netflix Officially Announces Premiere of Landmark Documentary Featuring the Timeless Legacy of Boxing Legends George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, Ken Norton, and Joe Frazier
Netflix has officially announced the release of a remarkable new sports documentary series named “Legends of the Ring: The Golden Era of Boxing”, which will stream later this year. The multi-part documentary promises to delve deep into one of the most electric times in boxing history, following the rise, rivalry, and cultural influence of four of the sport’s most legendary figures: George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, Ken Norton, and Joe Frazier.
The documentary, created in collaboration with award-winning filmmaker Ava DuVernay and executive producers from the acclaimed Last Dance documentary team, will include never-before-seen footage, rare interviews, and personal reflections from family members, historians, sports analysts, and current boxing champions who grew up idolizing these legends.
Each episode of Legends of the Ring is intended to emphasize not only the epic battles waged within the ring, but also the emotional difficulties, cultural pressures, and political events that formed the giants’ lives and legacies. From Ali’s outspoken opposition to the Vietnam War and unrivaled charisma to Joe Frazier’s unwavering grit and blue-collar attitude, Ken Norton’s shocking victories and chaotic life, and George Foreman’s incredible two-act career, no stone will be left unturned.
The debut date is November 8, 2025, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of Ali and Frazier’s classic “Thrilla in Manila” fight. The streaming giant is planning a global launch that will include virtual fan events, limited-edition items, and roundtable conversations with boxing legends such as Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, and current heavyweight champions.
