Sometime in Muhammad Ali's career he learned TKD and some punching techniques from Jhoon Rhee. Jhoon Rhee apparently taught Muhammad Ali some types of punches that Muhammad Ali used right away to knock out his opponent, which Ali himself talking about it in direct commentary in the video.

"Bruce Lee and I" book by Jhoon Rhee, an excerpt describes:
In this beautifully-designed, mainstream book with mass market appeal, Rhee explains how he taught his friend's (Bruce Lee's) secret punching technique to Muhammad Ali, who then credited “Mr. Jhoon Rhee's Accupunch” with his knock out of British champ Richard Dunn.



Interesting stuff... take it with a grain of salt right now...
 
He talks about him and lee being pals and trading all kinds of info
From him bruce learned to really nail the side kick mechanics
From bruse he learned tips how to not telegraph his punches so much( a huge problem for tkd guys )
