On this day in history and against all odds, Ali shook up the world by defeating Sonny Liston in 7 rounds
In his professional fight number 20, Muhammad Ali conquered the world heavyweight championship, by overwhelming Sonny Liston in seven searing rounds. Many had thought Sonny would sweep away audacious young Muhammad Ali, but he himself was dusted off and mopped up.
“I’m king of the world! I’m pretty! I’m a bad man! I shook up the world! I shook up the world! I shook up the world!” — The Greatest of All time stated after the fight.
