Other than boxing is Muhammad Ali famous for anything else?

Answer 1

One of the other things he is most famous for was his attempt at draft dodging due to religious beliefs.

Another Answer

Ali converted to Islam after he won the heavyweight championship as Cassius Clay. As a Muslim, he objected to being drafted into the U.S. armed services as a conscientious objector. He did not Dodge the draft, he simply and courageously accepted the consequences of refusing to serve in the army.

Ali paid a dear price for taking the stand that he did. Not only was he charged with a felony, of which he was later acquitted, but the boxing organizations stripped him of his championship title and banned him from boxing for almost three years while he was in the prime of his career.

After his name was cleared of any wrongdoing, Ali made a monumental comeback in the boxing ring, wining the heavyweight title two more times. Even more, because he was articulate, handsome, and a terrific showman, Ali probably did more for any cause that he supported. At one time, he was the most recognized person on the planet.

Muhammad Ali was originally known as Cassius Clay, and is most famous for both his epic boxing history, and his manner of achieving such status. His style, most notably his pre-match hype and "psyching" of the opponent, often rhyming, was as important as his mastery of boxing itself in making him a Legend of Boxing. He was named Sportsman of the Century in 1999.
