    Biography of Muhammad Ali

    Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. on January 17, 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky, was a
    towering figure in the world of professional boxing and a symbol of defiant pride for the African
    American community during a time of deep racial tensions in the United States. Known as "The
    Greatest," Ali's boxing prowess, charismatic personality, and unwavering principles made him an
    international icon.
    Ali began boxing at the age of 12 and quickly rose through the ranks with his exceptional speed and
    agility. He won a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome
    and soon after turned professional. In 1964, he became the World Heavyweight Champion after
    defeating Sonny Liston, a title he would win three times in his career.
    Beyond the ring, Ali was known for his eloquent speech and sharp wit, as well as his political
    activism. He converted to Islam and changed his name in 1964. In 1967, he refused induction into the
    U.S. Army due to his religious beliefs and opposition to the Vietnam War, which resulted in a three-
    and-a-half-year ban from boxing and a legal battle that went to the Supreme Court, where he won on
    appeal.
    Ali's influence extended far beyond sports; he was a global ambassador for peace and humanitarian
    causes. After retiring from boxing in 1981, he continued to inspire and contribute to society, even as
    he battled Parkinson's disease. Muhammad Ali passed away on June 3, 2016, but his legacy as a
    champion, humanitarian, and advocate for social justice endures.
