Boxing’s all time greatest Muhammad
Ali is dead. Ali died
Friday evening at a Phoenix hospital,
according to a press release from family
spokesperson Bob Gunnell. He was 74
years old. The release did not specify the
cause of death.
Ali was rushed to the hospital and
hospitalized yesterday with a
respiratory issue, and his family
released a short statement earlier this
afternoon , acknowledging the
hospitalization and stating that his
condition at the time was “fair.”
Born Cassius Clay on Jan. 17, 1942, Ali
was the first man to win the
heavyweight world championship three
times. He was banned for three years in
the late 1960s for refusing to enter the
armed forces , but he returned to the
sport and won the Rumble in the Jungle
and the Thrilla
in Manila. Widely regarded as the
greatest boxers of all time, Ali ended up
as famous for his anti-war speeches and
anti-establishment politics as as for his
boxing achievements.
