The Life Of Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky on January 17, 1942. Muhammad Ali’s work ethic and heart became evident at a young age. He started boxing younger than most kids were at only the age of 12. Ali’s family couldn't afford to send him to some fancy boxing center, but he loved boxing so he found a way to train. He actually ended up training with a local policeman. This is an example of how dedicated Ali was and how even though he didn’t get the class A training of the rich kids, he still found a way to train. Many kids who can’t do something easily will give up and never try again, but Ali knew what he wanted to do and pursued that. All of this hard work with the policeman payed off in the 1960 olympics when he won his first gold medal,
