Before boxer Muhammad Ali became one of the
most famous people in the world, he was a brash and friendly
18-year-old who travelled to the 1960 Rome Olympics to compete
in the light heavyweight division. He won all four of his
fights easily. In the final he defeated three-time European
champion Zbigniew Pietrzykowski. Muhammad Ali turned professional
and, in 1964, he stopped Sonny Liston to win the World Heavyweight
championship. Over the next four years he defended his title
nine times.
After he refused to be drafted into the United
States Army during the Vietnam War, he was stripped of his
title and did not fight again for 3 ½ years. Ali
regained his title in 1974 by knocking out George Foreman.
He defended his championship ten more times before losing
to Leon Spinks, whom he then defeated seven months later.
Ali retired from boxing in 1981 with a professional record
of 56 wins and 5 losses. In 1996, Ali was chosen to light
the cauldron during the Opening Ceremony of the Atlanta
Olympics. He has devoted much of his life to humanitarian
affairs. In 1998 Ali was honoured with the United Nations
Messenger of Peace award.
