What is Fight Night?
Based on real events, this podcast series finds its backdrop in Muhammad Ali’s comeback fight in the 1970s, which involved an armed robbery. This historic boxing match changed the lives of many and made Atlanta a mecca for black people.
It all starts with Ali and Kevin Hart’s Chicken Man. Chicken Man is still the head of a huge underworld heist ring, and Hudson, an old enemy of J.D. Chicken played by Don Cheadle, won’t let Chicken’s reputation be cleared that easily.
