Muhammad Ali Tribute

Ali is widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, winning the world heavyweight championship three times, and the only heavyweight boxer to win the lineal heavyweight boxing championship three times. Ali’s fight against Joe Frazier [1971] was named fight of the century; And Ali was also named Sports personality of the century in 1999. Ali was also quite popular for changing his name; he also got stripped of his boxing license due to him not being inducted into the U.S Military due to his religious beliefs. He then regained his Boxing license 4 years later. Ali was well known for his unorthodox boxing style, and used such moves as the ‘rope a dope’. Ali also often tended to trash talk his opponents before the fight, usually with rhymes of some sort. Ali in later life gained Parkinson’s disease which he still struggles with to this day.
