    Life sketch
    Born as Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. on January 17, 1942, into an African American family of Kentucky, Ali took to boxing
    at 12 years of age, almost by accident. But he showed his talent early and turned a professional right after winning a
    gold medal in the light heavyweight category of the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome. During a professional career of just
    over two decades, Ali won the world heavyweight title three times and enjoyed an overall 56 to 5 win/loss record.
    Outside the ring, Ali gained worldwide popularity for his anti-war and anti-racial stance while becoming a household
    name across the Muslim world for embracing Islam.

    At 73 years of age and incapacitated by Parkinson's disease, Ali currently lives in Arizona. He was admitted to hospital
    quite a few times over the last couple of years with various ailments.
    FAMOUS QUOTES

    "Float like a buttery and sting like a bee, the hands can't hit what the eyes can't see."
    "I ain't got no quarrel with them Viet Cong -- no Viet Cong ever called me Nigger."
