Muhammad Ali, who died on June 3, 2016, at the age of 74, was identified as the greatest boxer of all time even after his demise.
While Ali was alive and active, the 6 ft 3 inches tall boxer, who was born Cassius Clay, recorded 56 wins, 37 by knockouts, and just five defeats in 61 career fights.
Beyond his impressive record, Ali’s achievements in the ring were complemented by his impact outside of it. He became an influential figure in the civil rights movement, using his platform to speak out against racial inequality and injustice.
Ali’s charisma, courage, and conviction earned him not only titles but also the admiration and respect of people around the world, solidifying his legacy as a true icon in sports history.
