    About Muhammad Ali

    Muhammad Ali, born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. on January 17, 1942, was an American professional boxer and activist widely regarded as one of the greatest heavyweight fighters in sports history. He won a light heavyweight gold medal at the 1960 Rome Olympics before turning professional. In 1964, after defeating Sonny Liston to win the world heavyweight championship, he converted to Islam and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. In 1967, Ali refused military induction during the Vietnam War, citing his religious beliefs, which led to a draft evasion conviction, the loss of his boxing license, and the stripping of his title. After his conviction was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1971, Ali returned to the ring, ultimately becoming the first three-time lineal heavyweight champion. He retired from boxing in 1981 and focused on humanitarian causes until his death on June 3, 2016.

    🌙Vedic birth chart & birth timeBirth time: not on record

    A genuine Vedic Kundli for Muhammad Ali would need their exact birth time and place, and those are not in the public record. The Ascendant (Lagna), house placements, Nakshatra and Dasha timeline all change with just a few minutes' difference — so we don't invent a time or quietly default to noon. This profile therefore shows only what the birth date can honestly support: Sun sign, Moon sign (Rashi), Chinese zodiac and Life Path.
