The entire world was rocked with the news boxing legend Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Clay, had passed away at the age of 74.
Ali was hospitalised with respiratory problems a few days ago, and it seems the complications arising from it, coupled with his decades long battles against Parkinson’s, finally proved fatal.
Ali was, without a doubt, the greatest boxer this world had ever seen, arguably the greatest athlete ever. His sublime skills in the ring were coupled with a flamboyance and eloquence that provided a combination hard to find anywhere else. Seeing Ali in action was poetry, hearing him speak was akin to reading the finest prose.
Sporting legends worldwide have been responding to the death of this great legend. Read what some of them wrote below….
