He won BBC Sports Personality of the century in 1999 and made a special appearance at the London 2012 Olympic opening ceremony. He will also be remembered for his strong beliefs in religious freedom and racial injustice.
Ali first fought and won an amateur bout against Ron O'Keefe in 1954.
In 1964 Cassius announced his conversion to Islam and on 6th March he changed his name to Muhammad.
With antiwar principles he refused to join the army in 1966 to serve in Vietnam, Ali had his boxing licence suspended from 1967 to 1970 which was the pinnacle of his career. The US supreme court reversed this decision in 1971.
