Cassius
Marcellus Clay, Jr was born on 17 January 1942, in Louisville,
Kentucky. He took up boxing at the age of 12 after a thief stole his
bicycle. Long before his dazzling footwork and punching prowess made him
a three-time world heavyweight boxing champion known as Muhammad Ali, a
young Cassius Clay honed his skills by sparring with neighbourhood
friends and running alongside the bus on the way to school. He is
pictured below in 1954.
