The New York Times Muhammad Ali Dies at 74 Titan of Boxing and the 20th
century

2. Muhammad Ali, the three-time world champion, died at the age of 74, after having
Parkinson's disease for more than 30 years. He started to box at the age of 12, after
his bike was stolen. He was never taught to read properly, but in boxing he found
boundaries, discipline and stable guidance. In 1960 he won an Olympic gold medal
and came home as a professional contender. In 1964 he became the world
heavyweight champion. In 1966 he was drafted to go to war in Vietnam, which
refused it and was stripped of his title. Through the efforts of black politicians in
Atlanta, he returned to the ring in 1970. On March 8, 1971 Ali face the new
champion, Joe Frazier. Frazier won a 15-round decision. It was assumed that Alis
time has passed, but he showed different by winning 13 of his next 14 fights. In 1974
he regained the heavyweight title after knocking out George Foreman. 1981 was his
last year as a professional boxer. Soon after that, he was diagnosed with Parkinsons
disease. After retiring from the ring, Ali made speeches about peace and tolerance.
In 2005, President G.W. Bush presented him the Medal of Freedom
