Muhammad Ali
The Greatest
Much of my storylines, plots, and behavior will be based on biographies, documentaries, and footage of Muhammad Ali. I will eventually oppose the Vietnam War, RP that I was banned from boxing, had numerous marriages, etc., but since I am new to descriptive/semi-literate roleplaying, this will take time for me to get used to. Most of my RP contains slang as that is how Muhammad speaks. I RP mostly on Twitter and am new to forum RP.

I was born on Janurary 17, 1942 and raised in Louisville, Kentucky by my parents Odessa Clay and Cassius Marcellus Clay, Sr. The name I was born with was Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., which I eventually changed in 1965 due to Clay being the name slave masters gave my family members when we were kidnapped and brought over to America to be slaves. I am the oldest of two children, my younger brother being Rahaman Ali (formerly Rudolphy Clay).
I started boxing at 12 years old when someone had stolen my bike and a police officer reccomended I learn how to fight if I was going to get revenge. Even though I never found my bike or who stole it, I continued boxing up until 1965 when many boxing organizations (like the WBA) stripped me of my Heavyweight Championship Title after I became a Muslim in the Nation of Islam and publicly refused to be inducted into the United States Army for the Vietnam War.
Currently I've had my boxing liscense reinstated in 1970 (I was 29), and as of 1971 I plan to regain my Heavyweight title back. The people of the world know I'm the greatest! It took Joe Frazier many times to prove he was the new Heayweight and people still don't recognize him as the best. But there is a difference between Joe and I - I'm better than every boxer in the ring right now, and I will prove it time and time again. This ain't no jive!
*I laugh* But now that I'm back to boxing, I've got a lot of training to catch up with. So we'll see how everything goes - boxing, my family, my health. I can only pray thanks to Allah that I have been blessed as much as I have..
