That’s right, it’s legendary boxer Muhammad Ali.

Ali, nicknamed “The Greatest”, shot to fame in the 1960s as a formidable fighter.

He won 56 of 61 bouts during his 21-year professional career and claimed the world heavyweight title three times.

The American is widely considered to be the greatest fighter of all time, while his impact outside the ring is as impressive.

Ali died in 2016 aged 74 after a long battle with Parkinson’s.

He had nine kids in all, including Laila, who also competed as a professional boxer for eight years before retiring from the sport in 2007.
