Barney Corkhill’s ‘A Tribute To…’ series moves to boxing. In this series, I’ll look at the true greats and legends of various sports.
Today’s tribute is to the man who revolutionised boxing. He was, and still is, the most well-known boxer ever, and he is one of the most popular as well. His combination of speed and power made him a fearsome competitor, and his charm, wit, and confidence only added to his legend.
I speak, of course, of the great Muhammad Ali.
He has been named as the Sportsman of the Century by both Sports Illustrated and the BBC.
His overall career stats are 61 fights, 56 wins (37 by KO), and five losses.
A true great of boxing, and of sport, this has been a tribute to Muhammad Ali.
