Summary of Mohamed Ali, l'une des dernières légendes du sport s'en est allée

The video pays tribute to Muhammad Ali, one of the last legends of sport and a revolutionary figure in boxing. It traces his rise from Cassius Clay, a young brash boxer from Louisville, Kentucky, who won the heavyweight title in 1964 by defeating Sonny Liston at just 21 years old. Ali’s life and career are framed by three major struggles: the fight against racial injustice in America, rivalry with fellow Black boxers, and his defiance of the pro-American establishment, especially during the Vietnam War.

Key moments highlighted include:

The video also touches on Ali’s humanitarian efforts, including helping free 14 hostages by negotiating with Saddam Hussein in 2005, and receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It concludes with his public battle with Parkinson’s disease, which became evident after 1984, and his passing at age 74, leaving a lasting legacy in sports and civil rights.
