The Ali family is in mourning once again.

Rahaman Ali, the younger brother of boxing icon Muhammad Ali, has passed away at the age of 82. The Muhammad Ali Center confirmed his death on Saturday, stating that Rahaman died the day prior. While the exact cause of death has not yet been revealed, the center noted that funeral arrangements will be shared with the public soon.

Rahaman was more than just Muhammad Ali’s sibling — he was his biggest cheerleader, his lifelong confidant, and a storyteller who helped preserve the Champ’s legacy for future generations.

🥊 From Fighter to Author: Rahaman’s Life in the Ring and Beyond

Born Rudolph Valentino Clay before changing his name alongside his brother during the rise of the Nation of Islam, Rahaman Ali pursued boxing just like Muhammad. He competed professionally between 1964 and 1972, compiling a respectable record in the heavyweight division.

Though he never reached the same global fame as Muhammad, Rahaman carved out a unique place in boxing history as the ever-present figure in his brother’s corner — both in and out of the ring.

The Muhammad Ali Center released a heartfelt statement honoring Rahaman as:

“His brother’s biggest supporter.”

After hanging up his gloves, Rahaman turned to writing — publishing two deeply personal books:

  • “That’s Muhammad Ali’s Brother! My Life on the Undercard” (2014)
  • “My Brother, Muhammad Ali – The Definitive Biography” (2019)

These works gave fans an inside look into the bond shared between the Ali brothers and painted an intimate portrait of the world’s most celebrated athlete.

❤️ Family Tributes Pour In

Shortly after the news broke, Muhammad Ali’s daughter Hana Ali took to Instagram with a moving tribute. She posted a photo alongside her uncle with the caption:

“A sweet, gentle soul with a heart as big as the world.”

Hana went on to describe Rahaman’s “extraordinary” relationship with her father, noting how deeply they loved and respected each other.

Meanwhile, fellow boxing legend and Muhammad’s daughter Laila Ali shared an emotional post that read:

“My father loved his brother Rahaman so deeply. They are now back in the arms of their beloved parents. May they all rest in eternal peace together.”

Their words echo the sentiments of fans around the world, many of whom remember Rahaman not only as Muhammad Ali’s brother — but as a man with his own remarkable story.

🕯️ A Legacy of Love, Loyalty, and Brotherhood

Throughout Muhammad Ali’s towering career, Rahaman was always there — supporting him ringside, helping navigate the intense spotlight, and later acting as one of the few who could speak to the man behind the myth.

He was often seen as the quieter sibling, more reserved, but equally loving and fiercely protective of Muhammad’s legacy. In interviews, Rahaman often recalled how their bond was unbreakable from childhood, through the Olympics, the world title wins, the political controversies, and ultimately through Muhammad’s battle with Parkinson’s disease.

“We were like twins,” Rahaman once said. “He was my best friend, and I was his.”

After Muhammad Ali’s death in 2016, Rahaman continued to speak at events, write, and meet fans — always honoring his brother’s greatness while reminding the world that their family’s story was one of deep love and unshakable brotherhood.

📚 Rahaman Ali in His Own Words

In his books, Rahaman detailed the ups and downs of living in the shadow of “The Greatest.” He was open about moments of feeling overlooked — even mocked — but also wrote about the pride he felt standing beside a man who became a global symbol of courage and conviction.

In My Brother, Muhammad Ali, Rahaman wrote:

“People always asked me what it was like being Muhammad Ali’s brother. I tell them — it was an honor, a joy, and a challenge. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

📍 What’s Next: Funeral Arrangements Pending

As of now, no official cause of death has been released, and the Muhammad Ali Center declined to provide additional details out of respect for the family’s privacy.

Funeral plans are expected to be announced in the coming days, likely in Louisville, Kentucky — the city both Ali brothers called home and where Muhammad Ali was laid to rest.

🌍 Fans and Celebrities React

Social media quickly filled with condolences and memories after news of Rahaman’s passing. Boxing fans, sports journalists, and public figures shared appreciation for Rahaman’s role in preserving one of the most iconic legacies in sports history.

“Rahaman Ali may not have been a world champion in the ring, but he was a champion of love and loyalty. RIP.”
– Twitter user @BoxingHistoryHQ

“He gave us a lens into Muhammad Ali’s life that no one else could. What a gift.”
– Instagram comment from @AliLegacyFan

🕊️ Final Bell: A Brother’s Goodbye

In a world that only knew the greatness of Muhammad Ali through his public triumphs and televised speeches, Rahaman was the voice that reminded us of the human being behind the gloves — the son, the brother, the father, and the friend.

Now, both brothers rest together — reunited after nearly a decade apart.
