Muhammad Ali is a retired American boxer. Muhammad Ali was born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. on January 17th, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky. His father painted billboards signs and his mother stayed at home to raised Cassius and his younger brother.

 

Ali became interested in boxing at the age of 12, after his bike was stolen and he flew into a wild rage at the scene of the crime. The police officer on the scene saw Clay's anger and advised him to channel it into boxing. Cassius partnered with boxing coach Fred Stoner and together they would go on to win many championships including six Kentucky Golden Gloves, an Amateur Athletic Junior Title, and two National Golden Gloves. His biggest achievement to date was winning the light heavyweight gold medal at the 1960 Olympics. His amateur record was 100 wins and 5 losses.

 

After the Olympics, Clay returned to Louisville where he began his professional career. He made his winning debut on October 29th 1960 and he stayed undefeated for three straight years. 15 out of the 19 fights ended with knock outs. This was attributed to Clay's unusual boxing style.
