Childhood/early life Muhammad Ali was born on January 17, 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky, to Cassius Marcellus Clay, Sr and Odessa O'Grady. He was the eldest of the two sons of this couple. His father earned a living by painting billboards and signs.

Career In 1959, he won the National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions, as well as the Amateur Athletic Union's national title for the light-heavyweight division. In 1973, Ali lost the second fight of his career to Ken Norton, who broke his jaw. In their second bout Ali, won a controversial decision against Norton, thereby earning the right to fight against Joe Frazier, who had recently lost his title to George Foreman.

Reflection To me Muhammad Ali was an amazing boxer and a great role model to anyone. By doing his best and keep training he was able to become the greatest boxer in history. This shows people that is they want something they can do it. They should not give up if they fail at anything they want to do in life. Muhammad Ali shows that he did not give up by losing a fight he still got up and did not stop boxing.
