A BBC radio broadcast about the Beatles' visit to the Fifth Street Gym in Miami Beach to meet Cassius Clay as he trained for his February, 1964 fight with Sonny Liston. The visit produced some iconic photos by Harry Benson, who is interviewed.

Top two items of trivia: the Beatles wanted to meet Sonny Liston (they thought Cassius was going to get killed), and, after they left, Cassius asked who they were.
