When things were looking dour for former heavyweight champion Sonny Liston, an offer came from Sweden. Ex-champion Ingemar Johansson offered Liston a profitable deal to engage in four bouts sometime in 1966 & 1967.
In between fights, Johansson and Liston spent much time together touring Sweden and putting on exhibitions that allowed the public to see and converse with the real Sonny Liston.
It's a story that few have heard, but one that many would benefit from hearing. Watch this video to get the details.
