Rahaman Ali, boxer and brother of boxing legend Muhammad Ali dies at 82
The brother of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali, Rahaman Ali, has died. The Muhammad Ali Center confirmed the passing of Rahaman Ali, who died on Friday, Aug. 1 at the age of 82. There was no cause of death mentioned in the news release. "You can't tell Muhammad's story without mentioning Rahaman," President and CEO of the Muhammad Ali Center DeVone Holt said in a statement. "He was one of the most constant sources of support for Muhammad during this career and their relationship was a true example of what it means to be 'my brother's keeper.'" The Louisville Courier, part of the USA TODAY Network, mentioned that Rahaman Ali, whose birth name is Rudolph Arnett Clay, went into the hospital on July 19 and remained in hospice care at Norton Audubon in Louisville, Kentucky. Noted in the Muhammad Ali Center's news release, Rahaman Ali followed in his older brother's footsteps and had a professional boxing career of his own, which spanned from 1964 to 1972. At the time of his retirement, Rahaman Ali compiled a record of 14-3-1. "When you saw people walk through the door and they saw Rahaman you would see their eyes light up almost as if they had already seen Muhammad himself," Holt told WDRB, a local Fox affiliate in Louisville, Kentucky, about Rahaman Ali and his presence at the Muhammad Ali Center.
