The Day Cassius Clay Became Muhammad Ali
On February 25, 1964, under the bright lights of Miami Beach, a 22-year-old challenger named Cassius Clay danced around the heavyweight champion of the world. Sonny Liston was feared, dominant, and expected to win. Clay was loud, quick, and widely dismissed. By the seventh round, Liston remained on his stool. The upset was complete. A new heavyweight champion had arrived.
But the shock of the night was only beginning. Within days, Clay announced that he had joined the Nation of Islam and would no longer answer to his “slave name.” He chose a new one: Muhammad Ali. The change was more than symbolic. In a country deep in the tensions of the civil rights era, the young champion fused sport, faith, and identity in a way few public figures had dared.
Ali would go on to become one of the most recognizable athletes in history — not only for his speed and footwork, but for his voice. On this day, the world did not just witness a title fight. It witnessed a transformation, and the beginning of a legacy that reached far beyond the ropes.
