Hi, I'm Ricky and this is your Saturday morning Newsround.

But first, one sports greatest superstars

The boxer was famous around the world, but not

We've been taking a look back at his life and why

I want everyone out there to know this, I am the greatest. Muhammad

Ali, the world most famous boxer. Born with a different name, Cassius

Clay, in Kentucky in America in 1942. He first achieved fame when he

won gold at the Rome Olympics in 1960. He was famous for the way he

talked and the things he said. He has never been stopped. He won his

first world heavyweight title at the age of just 22. But Muhammad Ali was

more than just a boxer. He campaigned for civil rights at a

time when black people in America are treated differently. The books

are converted to Islam and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. He spoke

out about racism and the world listened. One of his most famous

fight was nicknamed the Rumble in the jungle. It took place in 1974

against George Foreman. If you think that, wait until I get George

Foreman. He is ugly and I am the true champion. Muhammad Ali on the

fight. He just beat himself out. He was so tired he just fell on the

ropes. I said, man, this is the wrong place to get tired! In 1984.

He became unwell. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's. It made life

difficult for the boxer but he didn't give up. In 1999, Muhammad

Ali won the BBC sports personality of the century. He got more votes

than the rest of the contenders had together. I had a good time boxing.

I enjoyed it and I may come back! He is known all over the world and will

be remembered for being the greatest. I am the king of the

world. Sport now and Andy Murray

is through the final of He played well beating

the defending champion If he wins the final,

he will be the first British man to win the French open since 1937,

but he'll have to get past world number one Novak Djokovich

in the final on Sunday to do so.
