AI IMAGE - Portrait of Muhammad Ali standing in a boxing ring, 1960s, (2023). Ali, born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. (1942-2016), was an African-American professional boxer and activist. 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. In 1966, 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. His conviction was overturned in 1971. In 1999, Ali was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated, and the Sports Personality of the Century by the BBC

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the iconic figure of Muhammad Ali, also known as Cassius Clay, in the prime of his boxing career during the 1960s. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1942, Ali rose to prominence as a heavyweight boxing champion, earning the moniker 'The Greatest' for his charisma, agility, and unmatched skill in the ring. However, Ali's legacy extends far beyond his athletic achievements. A proud African American and devout Muslim, Ali made headlines when he refused to be drafted into the military during the Vietnam War, citing his religious beliefs and ethical opposition to the conflict. This bold stance resulted in his conviction for draft evasion and the loss of his boxing titles. Despite the challenges he faced, Ali's unwavering conviction and activism continued to inspire millions. In 1999, he was named Sportsman of the Century by Sports Illustrated and the Sports Personality of the Century by the BBC. This powerful image of Ali, standing tall and focused in the boxing ring, serves as a testament to his indomitable spirit and enduring impact on both sports and social justice.
