Ali would continue his trek to boxing and, ultimately, social dominance in the coming years. His professional career began with a victory over Tunney Hunsaker on October 29, 1960, and would end some twenty-one years later with a loss to Trevor Berbick on December 11, 1981, only his fifth loss in more than two decades of professional boxing.
