Muhammad Ali Clay was an American Muslim boxer. He fought 61 fights, in which he achieved 56 victories, 37 of which were by knockout.
He defended human rights, and devoted his life to combating discrimination and racism and supporting Islam. He refused to participate in the Vietnam War, so he was stripped of his title, was sentenced to prison, and was banned from practicing boxing for 4 years. He was called “the greatest,” and the British Broadcasting Corporation chose him as “Sports Personality of the Century.”
