Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr was born on 17 January 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky. He took up boxing at the age of 12 after a thief stole his bicycle. Long before his dazzling footwork and punching prowess made him a three-time world heavyweight boxing champion known as Muhammad Ali, a young Cassius Clay honed his skills by sparring with neighbourhood friends and running alongside the bus on the way to school. He is pictured below in 1954.
