Words aren’t enough to express the loss the country and the world is going through after the dismiss of the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali dies, and with him died the greatest the World has ever seen. The great Indian boxer who proclaimed himself as ‘The Greatest’ took his last breath in Phoenix on Friday night. Spokesman Bob Gunnell said, “After a 32-year battle with Parkinson’s disease. Muhammad Ali has passed away at the age of 74. The three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer died this evening. The Ali family would like to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and support and asks for privacy at this time.”
Don King, the boxing promoter, who was very close to the boxer and was aware of every single thing said, “His spirit will go on forever. He’s just a great human being, a champion of the people, the greatest of all time.”
He believes that Ali will never die. He’ll always remain in the hearts of the people in the world. He added, “His spirit was solid as ever. He wasn’t the man who’d take defeat. Defeat wasn’t in his vocabulary.”
Muhammad Ali was born in 1942 and was always fond of boxing. He believed the no matter where you come from, if you have that zeal and passion in you, you can achieve anything you wish for.
