It may have been a star-studded event, but Sharon Stone stole the show at Muhammad Ali at Celebrity Fight Night - an annual fundraiser named in the late boxing legend's honor. The charity event was conducted Saturday in Phoenix, Arizona at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort & Spa, the first since Ali's deatha aged 74 on June 3, 2016.
