Muhammad Ali’s career was profoundly affected by significant moments in history, including the civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, and his conversion to Islam. His refusal to be drafted into the Vietnam War in 1967, based on his religious beliefs and political stance, led to legal battles and a temporary loss of his boxing titles. Ali became a symbol of resistance and social justice, advocating for racial equality and humanitarian causes. His resilience in the face of adversity not only defined his legacy as a boxer but also his impact as a cultural and political icon.
