His fights with Joe Frazier and George Forman are considered some of the greatest fights in the history of the sport. He died on June 3, 2016 from the complications of Parkinson's disease and is resting here in one of the more secluded spot in Cave Hill Cemetery.
On October 27, 1986, after years of effort, Lee Iacocca, the Chairman of the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island Foundation saw his dream come true. The statue had reopened and the Ellis island restoration project was well along. That evening, the Ellis Island Medals of Honor Awards dinner was held. The three Mort Künstler paintings were featured at the dinner. Freedom appeared on the cover of the Anniversary Journal. The late Cardinal O’Connor, Muhammad Ali, and Lee Iacocca posed in front of the Künstler painting The Great Hall.

Spotted in the window of a local pharmacy in town.
This is in my opinion unfair as Muhammad Ali is a legend and the pharmacy's have been ripping off the nation along with the builders, bankers, politicians and plonkers.
I can also see the pharmacy's view a small bit I suppose. Mary is a complete spanner and should be knocked out of her office.
I uploaded this because I'm still not too sure about it and I thought it was worth sharing.

We went to Vegas for my cousin Katie's wedding and hung out at The Venetian and Madame Tussauds wax museum while we were there.
The Muhammad Ali lithographs are all 18 by 24 inches except for Let My People Go which is 13.5 by 10.5 inches, and were published in 1979 in editions of 500. Three have religious imagery: Under the Sun, which shows a jet plane; Guiding Light, showing an image of a lighthouse; and the eponymous Mosque II. The fourth is a cartoonish scene of the boxing ring, titled Sting Like a Bee and the fifth is a drawing of Africa titled Let My People Go.
The Museum of UnCut Funk is proud to have Sting Like a Bee in it's collection.
