What is Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist about? 

Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist chronicles an infamous armed robbery on the night of Muhammad Ali’s 1970 comeback fight. To celebrate the historic spectacle, an extravagant party is hosted by a hustler named Chicken Man (Hart) and attended by some of the country’s wealthiest guests. 

Only the night ends terribly when the private party is interrupted by armed robbers demanding money and jewellery. From being a lavish event to celebrate Ali’s victory, the party quickly turned into one of the country’s biggest and most notorious armed robberies. 

The series is written, created, and executive produced by Shaye Ogbonna based on the podcast Fight Night written by Jeff Keating and Jim Roberts.
