It was also reported that Jericho will appear as George in the fourth episode.
This upcoming series is eight episodes in total and chronicles the life and legacy of boxing legend Muhammad Ali.
In the article, it was stated:
“One of wrestling’s first true mainstream celebrities, Gorgeous George became a television sensation whose flamboyance, swagger and mastery of self-promotion famously influenced a young Muhammad Ali. Jericho, curls and all, makes his first appearance in the show’s fourth episode.
The Greatest features defining moments in Ali’s life and career, both in and out of the ring, that have been well documented, and moments that took place outside the spotlight. The world remembers an icon, but The Greatest is about a man, a husband, a father, a brother and a son.”
