DEER LAKE, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- On this edition of One Tank Trip, Action News took a ride to visit the history of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali.

Many people know Ali, but a lesser-known fact is that he opened his own training camp in Pennsylvania, where he prepared for some of his most memorable fights.

Now, that training camp has become a museum honoring Ali's legacy.

Ali nicknamed the site "Fighter's Heaven."

It's located in the hills above Deer Lake about an hour and a half west of Philadelphia.
