NY Daily News: Ken Norton Sr., the former hard-bodied heavyweight with the distinctive cross-armed defense who once defeated a prime Muhammad Ali while breaking his jaw, died Wednesday at a hospital in Arizona while receiving treatment for a stroke he suffered last year, according to the Los Angeles Times, which referenced his former friend and manager, Patrick Tenore.

Surely the obits will mention his movie claim to greatness as the star of MANDINGO and DRUM.
Haven't seen DRUM, but MANDINGO is a classic of its kind.
