Rahaman Ali dead at 82: Brother of legendary boxer Muhammad dies as tributes pour in for ‘true example'
REST IN PEACE Rahaman Ali dead at 82: Brother of legendary boxer Muhammad dies as tributes pour in for 'true example' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MUHAMMAD ALI'S brother Rahaman has sadly passed away. The legendary boxer's younger sibling died yesterday at the age of 82. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Rahaman Ali has sadly passed away Credit: Getty 2 His brother Muhammad Ali is regarded as one of the greatest boxer's of all-time Credit: Getty Rahaman spent his final weeks in a hospice in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. Muhammad's daughter Hana said in a touching tribute: "In Loving Memory of My Uncle Rock. "Today, the last living member of my father's immediate family returned to heaven. "My Uncle, lovingly known as Rock, was a sweet, gentle soul with a heart as big as the world. "He had that same sparkle in his eye that my father had… that same light, that same mischief, that same love. "They were close their entire lives, brothers by blood, but friends by choice. "Even as children, their bond was extraordinary. My father loved his brother like he was his own child. "I can just picture them now, reunited in heaven… playing Cowboys and Indians with the broomsticks they used to find in Mama Bird and Papa Cash's closet. Daddy always insisted on being the Cowboy, and Rock the Indian. "Or maybe they're back to one of their favourite games, Daddy convincing Rock to throw actual rocks at him so he could prove how fast he was by dodging them. "Whatever they're doing up there, I know it's full of joy, laughter, and the kind of brotherly love that helped shape our family. "Uncle Rock had a heart of gold. He never needed a spotlight to shine, and I believe that now, from above, he and Daddy are part of something bigger… something beautiful… something meant to help heal this broken world. "God bless you, Uncle Rock. You will be missed. You will be forever loved. "And when my time comes, I hope you and Daddy will both be there, waiting to welcome me home." DeVone Holt, who is the president of the Muhammad Ali Center, added: "You can't tell Muhammad's story without mentioning Rahaman. "He was one of the most constant sources of support for Muhammad during his career and their relationship was a true example of what it means to be my brother's keeper." Rahaman, who was born Rudolph Arnett Clay, was also a professional boxer from 1964 to 1972. He ended his heavyweight career with 14 bouts won, three lost and one draw. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
