Kule veki, i isixeko saseLouisville yenze isigqibo sokunikezela igama kwakhona kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya iLouisville Muhammad Ali International Airport ngembeko yomdlalo wamanqindi omkhulu. Ngokwesiqhelo, bekungekho mntu uza kubetha iliso, (ngubani ongafuni ukuba isikhululo seenqwelomoya sibizwe ngegama le-champ?), Kodwa eli bali liza nokujijisana njengoko kuvela ukuba uAli wayesoyika ukufa ukunyathela kwiinqwelomoya.

Uloyiko lokubhabha luphawu olubhalwe kakuhle. Kwabaninzi, isenzo sokunyathela inqwelomoya sinokuzisa iijitters kwaye mhlawumbi kunokubangela iintende ezibilayo okanye kuhlaselo loxinzelelo ngelixa ukhwele. Abantu abanamatyala agqithisileyo banokuthintela ukubhabha ngokupheleleyo. Kodwa kwabo bafuna ukuhamba imigama emide kwimisebenzi yabo, ukungabhabha nje ayisiyonto inokukhetha. Kwaye omnye wabo bantu kwenzeka ukuba abe ngu-Ali.

Uloyiko olukhulu luka-Ali lokubhabha lwaluyaqondakala. Ngokombali ka-Ali ka-1975, 'Oyena Mkhulu: Ibali Lam,' ethi IWashington Post Kutshanje kuphakanyisiwe, uloyiko lwakhe lwaphuhliswa emva kokuba efumene isiphithiphithi kakhulu kangangokuba wathumela izixhobo zeenqwelomoya zibhabha.

Amaxesha amaninzi ndiye ndagocagoca ingqondo yam ukufumana apho uloyiko luvela khona, wabhala, echaza ukubhubha ngenqwelo moya iyure enye ukusuka eLouisville ukuya eChicago. Ngokuka Ali, ezinye izihlalo zazikrazukile kwiibholiti zazo phantsi.

Kwaye uAli wayengazibaxi izinto. UJoe Martin, umqeqeshi wakhe wexesha elinye, waphawula kuJonathan Eig ' UAli: Ubomi , 'Bendicinga ukuba ibikukukhwela kwethu kokugqibela ... kwaye ndiyathetha ukuba uCassius wayethandaza ekhwaza! Owu, ndoda, woyika ukufa.

Ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya kwabangela uloyiko lobomi ku-Ali. Ngokwengxelo yeWashington Post, wade waxelela noonondaba, andoyiki mlo. Ndiyoyika inqwelomoya.

Nangona kunjalo, njengomlobi odumileyo wehlabathi, uAli kwafuneka abhabhe. Ke, wenza into ebambekayo kuphela: Wathenga iparashute.

Waya kwivenkile yomkhosi wathenga iparashute kwaye wayinxiba kwinqwelomoya, uJoe Martin Jr., unyana kaMartin. Uxelwe ukuba wayikhwela kuyo yonke inqwelomoya awayehamba nayo.

Nangona kunjalo, eyona mfazwe yakhe inkulu noloyiko lwakhe yayiza kubakho ngexesha le-Olimpiki e-Roma e-1960. Ayinyanzelekanga nje ukuba u-Ali aqinisekiswe ngabaqeqeshi bakhe ukuba ahambe le midlalo, kodwa kwafuneka aqinisekiswe yi-US Air Force.

Into endandisoyika kakhulu yayikukuqhushumba kweenqwelomoya, kwaye akukho nto yayiza kundanelisa de ndibize uMkhosi woMoya ndacela ukuba bandinike irekhodi lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya phakathi kweRome neMelika, wabhala kwincwadi yakhe yobomi. Bathe abakwazi nokukhumbula ixesha lokugqibela umntu abetheke ngalo. Oko kwandenza ndazola ngokwaneleyo ukuba ndingabaleka ndiye eRoma.

Ekugqibeleni uye wakhwela inqwelomoya, kwaye njengokuba usazi, waphumelela.

Ukuba unoloyiko lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya, ungakhathazeki, awudingi ukukhuphisana kwiiOlimpiki ukuze ugqithe kulo njengoAli. Landela nje ezi zilandelayo Amanyathelo alula alishumi elinambini okususa uloyiko lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya .
