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.
Researchers at the County Clare Heritage Centre in the south west of Ireland have unearthed documentation to show one of Ali's great grandfathers came from the county town of Ennis. It seems Abe Grady, born around 160 years ago in County Clare, emigrated to the United States in the 1860s.
