  • Member Motion City Council MM20.14
    Member Motion City Council Notice of Motion MM20.14 ACTION Ward:19 Creation and Installation of a Plaque Commemorating The People’s Champion - Muhammad Ali - by Councillor Mike Layton, seconded by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam * Notice of this Motion has been given. * This Motion is subject to referral to the Executive Committee. A two-thirds vote is required to waive referral. Recommendations Councillor Mike Layton, seconded by Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, recommends that: 1. City Council increase the approved 2016 Operating Budget for Heritage Toronto by $3,250 gross, $0 net, fully funded by Section 37 community benefits obtained in the development at 700 King Street West (Source Account: XR3026-3700113), for the production and installation of a plaque commemorating the life and career in Toronto of Muhammad Ali. 2. City Council direct that the funds be transferred to Heritage Toronto subject to the condition that the Historical Plaques Committee of Heritage Toronto approve of the plaque subject matter. Summary Heritage Toronto is working with local residents to commemorate Muhammad Ali's 1966 visit to Toronto, including his fight against George Chuvalo. Muhammed Ali was one of the world's most celebrated athletes, best-known personalities, and influential civil rights activists. Ali’s enduring fight against oppression and involvement in the black freedom struggle is part of what brought him to Toronto. In March 1966, Ali was booked to fight Ernie Terrell in Chicago, but his controversial anti-war views and refusal to join the United States draft resulted in Chicago and every major United States boxing centre refusing to host the fight, forcing the organizers to move it to Toronto and arrange an alternative opponent - Canadian heavyweight champion, George Chuvalo.

  • SONNY LISTON and the TORN TENDON Arturo Tozzi, MD, Phd
    SONNY LISTON AND THE TORN TENDON Arturo Tozzi, MD, PhD, AAP Center for Nonlinear Science, University of North Texas, PO Box 311427, Denton, TX 76203-1427, USA [email protected] The first Liston-Clay fight in 1964 is still highly debated, because Liston quitted at the end of the sixth round claiming a left shoulder injury. Here we, based on the visual analysis of Sonny’s movements during the sixth round, show how a left shoulder’s rotator cuff tear cannot be the cause of the boxer failing to answer the bell for the seventh round. KEYWORDS: boxing; Muhammad Ali; World Heavyweight Championship; Miami Beach; rotator cuff injury The first fight between Sonny Liston and Cassius Clay took place on February 25, 1964 in Miami Beach. Liston failed to answer the bell for the seventh round and Clay was declared the winner by technical knockout (Remnick, 2000). The fight is one of the most controversial ever: it was the first time since 1919 that a World Heavyweight Champion had quit sitting on his stool. Liston said he had to quit because of a left shoulder injury (Tosches, 2000). However, there has been speculation since about whether the injury was severe enough to actually prevent him from continuing. It has been reported that Sonny Liston had been long suffering from shoulders’ bursitis and had been receiving cortisone shots, despite his notorious phobia for needles (Assael 2016). In training for the Clay fight, it has been reported that he re- injured his left shoulder and was in pain when striking the heavy bag.

  • Muhammad Ali Biography
    Muhammad Ali Biography “I’m not the greatest; I’m the double greatest. Not only do I knock ’em out, I pick the round. “ – Muhammad Ali Short Biography Muhammad Ali Muhammad Ali (born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. on January 17, 1942) is a retired American boxer. In 1999, Ali was crowned “Sportsman of the Century” by Sports Illustrated. He won the World Heavyweight Boxing championship three times, and won the North American Boxing Federation championship as well as an Olympic gold medal. Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky. He was named after his father, Cassius Marcellus Clay, Sr., (who was named for the 19th century abolitionist and politician Cassius Clay). Ali later changed his name after joining the Nation of Islam and subsequently converted to Sunni Islam in 1975. Early boxing career Standing at 6’3″ (1.91 m), Ali had a highly unorthodox style for a heavyweight boxer. Rather than the normal boxing style of carrying the hands high to defend the face, he instead relied on his ability to avoid a punch. In Louisville, October 29, 1960, Cassius Clay won his first professional fight. He won a six-round decision over Tunney Hunsaker, who was the police chief of Fayetteville, West Virginia. From 1960 to 1963, the young fighter amassed a record of 19-0, with 15 knockouts. He defeated such boxers as Tony Esperti, Jim Robinson, Donnie Fleeman, Alonzo Johnson, George Logan, Willi Besmanoff, Lamar Clark (who had won his previous 40 bouts by knockout), Doug Jones, and Henry Cooper. Among Clay’s victories were versus Sonny Banks (who knocked him down during the bout), Alejandro Lavorante, and the aged Archie Moore (a boxing legend who had fought over 200 previous fights, and who had been Clay’s trainer prior to Angelo Dundee).

  • Muhammad Speaks and Muhammad Ali Intersections of the Nation of Islam and Sport in the 1960S Maureen Smith
    10 Muhammad Speaks and Muhammad Ali Intersections of the Nation of Islam and sport in the 1960s Maureen Smith America, more than any other country, offers our people opportunities to engage in sports and play, which cause delinquency, murder, theft, and other forms of wicked and immoral crimes. This is due to this country’s display of filthy temptations in this world of sport and play.1 Introduction With the advent of its first issue, Muhammad Speaks established itself as the voice of the Nation of Islam’s Messenger, Elijah Muhammad. Dedicated to ‘Freedom, Justice, and Equality for the Black Man’, the first issue was printed in October 1961 and the newspaper’s circulation increased at a rate comparable to the discontent of African Americans in the USA during the freedom struggle of the civil rights movement.2 Advocating freedom and separation from whites, the newspaper served a critical role in promoting racial pride, as well as ministering the beliefs and teachings of Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam. Some of these teachings explored issues surrounding a range of athletic pursuits, and initially the Nation rejected the ‘evils’ of professional sport and games. Yet, through the pages of Muhammad Speaks it is possible to identify a shift in the Nation of Islam’s position on sport, as the organisation’s leadership came to recognise the political utility that an association with a prominent Muslim athlete, such as Muhammad Ali, could offer their movement. Once Ali’s use to the Nation of Islam was exhausted, the leaders once again resumed their opposition to professional sport.

  • Muhammad Ali's Main Bout: African American Economic Power and The
    1 Muhammad Ali’s Main Bout: African American Economic Power and the World Heavyweight Title—by Michael Ezra Muhammad Ali announced at a press conference in January 1966 that he had formed a new corporation called Main Bout, Inc. to manage the multi-million-dollar promotional rights to his fights. “I am vitally interested in the company,” he said, “and in seeing that it will be one in which Negroes are not used as fronts, but as stockholders, officers, and production and promotion agents.” Although racially integrated, Main Bout was led by the all-black Nation of Islam. Its rise to this position gave African Americans control of boxing’s most valuable prize, the world heavyweight championship. Ali envisioned Main Bout as an economic network; a structure that would generate autonomy for African Americans. Main Bout encountered resistance from the beginning. It came initially from white sportswriters. But about a month after Main Bout’s formation Ali’s draft status changed to 1-A, which meant that he had become eligible for military service in the Vietnam War. When Ali then opposed the war publicly, politicians nationwide joined the press in attacking Main Bout. The political controversy surrounding Ali made it easier for Main Bout’s economic competitors— rival promoters, closed-circuit television theater chains, and organized crime—to run the organization out of business. Money and politics were important elements of white resistance to Main Bout as was the organization’s potential as a black power symbol. Like his civil rights contemporaries, Muhammad Ali understood the importance of economic power.
