Muhhamad Ali

Who was Muhammad Ali?

Ali was an American professional boxer.

Nicknamed "the Greatest", he is regarded
as one of the most significant sports
figures of the 20th century and is often
regarded as the greatest heavyweight
boxer of all time.
What difficulties he faced?

Muhammad Ali faced many obstacles in

his life—from being conscripted into the
Vietnam War to fighting for racial equality
in the 60’s.
At the same time, he was determined to
remain “the greatest” boxer there ever
was. Instead of letting these issues get to
him, he remained focused on his dream.
Facing difficulties

Ali refused to be drafted into the military

owing to his religious beliefs and ethical
opposition to the Vietnam War and was
found guilty of draft evasion and stripped
of his boxing titles. He stayed out of
prison while appealing the decision to the
Supreme Court, where his conviction was
overturned in 1971.
Return

After his return, Ali went on to have a

successful boxing career, including iconic
matches such as the "Fight of the
Century" against Joe Frazier and the
"Rumble in the Jungle" against George
Foreman.
