Muhammad Ali passed away Friday June 3rd in Arizona at the age of 74. The legendary boxer who proclaimed himself "The Greatest" was among the most famous and beloved athletes on the planet.
Ali had battled with Parkinson's Disease for 32 years, a progressive neurological condition that slowly robbed him of both his verbal grace and his physical dexterity. CNN notes that "Ali had been at HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center in Scottsdale since Thursday with what spokesman Bob Gunnell had described as a respiratory issue."
The three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer made countless people believe in themselves and fight for what was right. He will be missed.
