Boxing greats remember Joe Frazier

Former Heavyweight world champion Joe Frazier has died from liver cancer aged 67.

Boxing greats George Foreman, Chris Eubank, Joe Bugner, Ricky Hatton, Vitali Klitschko and Lennox Lewis tell BBC Sport their memories of the man known as Smokin' Joe.

Frazier had been receiving hospice care in Philadelphia after being diagnosed with cancer several weeks ago.

The 67-year-old was the first man to beat Muhammad Ali in 1971, but lost his next two bouts with Ali, in three of the most famous fights in boxing history.
