MUHAMMED ALI. WORLD CHAMPION BOXER. PHOTOGRAPHED IN LONDON, mid 1970'S Muhmmed Ali, three times World Champion Heavy Weight Boxer died today after suffering from parkinsons Disease, aged 74. This portrait was made when Ali was on a promotional visit to London in 1975. COPYRIGHT PHOTOGRAPH BY BRIAN HARRIS © 1975 Muhammad Ali (/ɑːˈliː/;[2] born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., January 17, 1942 – June 3, 2016)[3] was an American professional boxer, generally considered among the greatest heavyweights in the history of the sport. Early in his career, Ali was known for being a controversial and polarizing figure both inside and outside the boxing ring.[4][5] He was one of the most recognized sports figures of the past 100 years, crowned "Sportsman of the Century" by Sports Illustratedand "Sports Personality of the Century" by the BBC.[6][7] He also wrote several best-selling books about his career, including The Greatest: My Own Story andThe Soul of a Butterfly. Ali, originally known as Cassius Clay, began training at 12 years old and at the age of 22 won the world heavyweight championship in 1964 from Sonny Liston ina stunning upset. Shortly after that bout, Ali joined the Nation of Islam and changed his name. He converted to Sunni Islam in 1975, and 30 years later began adhering to Sufism. In 1967, three years after winning the heavyweight title, Ali refused to be conscripted into the U.S. military, citing his religious beliefs and opposition to American involvement in the Vietnam War. He was eventually arrested and found guilty on draft evasion charges and stripped of his boxing title. He did not fight again for nearly four years—losing a time of peak performance in an athlete's career. Ali's appeal worked its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court where, in 1971, his conviction was overturned. Ali's actions as a conscientious objector to the war made him an icon for the larger counterculture generation.[8][9] Ali remains the only three-time lineal world heavyweight
