Muhammad Ali was an inspiration to many people, and the current WBC heavyweight champion, Tuscaloosa's own Deontay Wilder, was also touched by the life and career of the greatest boxer to ever live.
The sport of boxing lost its greatest athlete of all-time on Friday night when Muhammad Ali passed away at the age of 74. The man that holds the same WBC Heavyweight Championship belt that once wrapped around Ali's waist is Tuscaloosa native Deontay Wilder.
