A Champion of All Champions
According to Matthew 22:14, “many are called but few are chosen.” Born in the first month of the year, in Louisville, Kentucky, Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. seemed to be destined for greatness. He began his boxing journey at 12 years old and by 22 years old, he was the World HeavyWeight Champion (1964).

What a wonderful tribute to the greatest presented by Charlene Wiggins in a historical research and video form, no excerpts, no follow – ups, no reviews.
