15. Put the parts of this text in the right order.
Muhammad Ali
a) Ali was a wonderful boxer but people were interested in Ali not only because he was a champion. Ali was an interesting man too. He was boastful and funny. He often wrote poems about boxing. Some time ago there was a lot of racism in the USA. One day he came to a cafe to have a cup of coffee and they said to him that he couldn’t do it because he was black. Ali was very angry. He took his Olympic gold medal and threw it into the river. That was how he showed his protest.
b) Sadly, now Ali is not very well. He has Parkinson’s disease. Doctors think that he has it because of boxing. Ali is interested in what goes on in the USA and other countries and he likes helping people. There is a film Ali about the famous boxer. Will Smith plays Ali in the film. When Will and Ali met, Ali said, “You’re nearly as good-looking as I’m. I think you can play me”.
c) This is the name under which the lovers of sport know him. When he left sport in 1981, he had 59 victories and only 5 defeats. At 18 he became an Olympic Gold medallist in the 1960 Rome Olympics. Then, he became a professional boxer. In 1964 Ali defeated Sonny Liston and became the Champion of the World. One of his biggest fights was with George Foreman, who was younger and stronger than Ali. But Ali was cleverer and defeated Foreman.
d) He was born Cassius Marcellus Clay on January 17, 1942 in Lousville, Kentucky. When he was a young boy, he decided to become strong, so he started boxing. When he was 21, Cassius Clay became a Muslim and took the name of Muhammad Ali.
