When Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. was twelve, his bicycle was stolen. He wanted to hurt the thief, but he met a policeman who offered to teach him to box instead. Cassius went on to become a champion fighter. On the day after he defeated heavyweight champion Sonny Liston, Cassius Clay took the name Muhammad Ali, to honor his new Muslim faith. This biography covers Ali’s childhood, professional career, and life after boxing. Full-color art.
