Muhammad Ali
The greatest heavyweight boxer in history and one of the 20th century’s most important figures, Ali struck gold at the 1960 Rome Olympics at the age of 18. Following his Olympic victory, he went on to become a worldwide sensation. When his prolific boxing career ended, Ali became an actor, writer, and Grammy nominated musician. He also dedicated his time to faith and charity. Sadly, Ali had Parkinson’s disease during the last three decades of his life and ‘The Greatest’ passed away in 2016. However, he will forever be remembered for the incredible career he had as a boxer, humanitarian and philanthropist.

The star later worked for CBS Sports, the WNBA, NBC, and Nickelodeon, among others. Sanders now works for HLN and the Pac-12 Network.
