Obama:
President Barack Obama paid tribute Saturday to late boxing great Muhammad Ali, saying that he was a towering champion “who fought for what was right” not just in the ring but outside it as well.
The former heavyweight champion, who passed away late Friday after struggling for years with Parkinson’s, was “a man who fought for us,” the US president said.

“His fight outside the ring would cost him his title and his public standing. It would earn him enemies on the left and the right, make him reviled, and nearly send him to jail. But Ali stood his ground. And his victory helped us get used to the America we recognize today.”

Bill Clinton:
Clintons ‘saddened’ by death of Ali Also Former US president Bill Clinton said on Saturday that he and his wife, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, were “saddened” by thepassing of
Muhammad Ali. “From the day he claimed the Olympic gold

medal in 1960, boxing fans across the world knew they were seeing a blend of beauty and grace, speed and strength that may never be matched again,” read a statement from the former president’s office. “We watched him grow from the brash self-confidence of youth and success into a manhood full of religious and political convictions that led him to make tough choices and live with the consequences,” he said. Ali was “courageous in the ring, inspiring to the young, compassionate to those in need, and strong and good-humored in bearing the burden of his own health challenges.” Clinton said he was “honored” to have awarded Ali the Presidential Citizens Medal at the White House in January 2001
