Muhammad Ali

Story by Fuad Hassan, Sports Editor

Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time winning with a record of 56-5. He was a gold medal winner, a four-time WBA heavyweight champion, and two-time WBC heavyweight champion. Ali used his superstar status to fight for the rights of African Americans during the 1960s as well as speak up against the United States’ involvement in the Vietnam War. He was even banned from boxing and stripped of his title for his beliefs. Ali died on June 3, 2016, but the impact he made in sports and the world live on forever.
