This friendship warms my heart! So the story I heard was Muhammad Ali was in Vegas for a fight during Elvis residency at the International Hotel. Elvis wanted to meet The Champ. Muhammad Ali and a few of his bodyguards went up to Elvis' suite. Elvis introduced himself, and they sat down at a table and started chatting. To the Memphis Mafia and Ali's bodyguards. Everything seemed fine. Then Elvis swiftly jumps up from the table. Muhammad Ali gets up. Elvis does a karate stance. Ali does a boxing stance. Their bodyguards don't have any idea what's going.
Elvis knocks Ali on his rump by kicking his legs from under him. Everyone is in shock! What just happened? Ali looks up at Elvis, and they start laughing. Elvis helps Ali up off the floor. The Memphis Mafia guys and Ali's bodyguards start laughing, too. The start of an epic friendship! Elvis bought Ali this robe. It was supposed to say the 'People's Champ' but it said the 'People's Choices'. Muhammad Ali loved it and accepted it as a gift from a dear friend.
