When Muhammad Ali was stripped of his heavyweight title in 1967 for refusing to be drafted into the Vietnam War, it sent shockwaves through the boxing world and beyond. His stance against the war galvanized the anti-war movement and positioned Ali as a symbol of civil rights and personal conviction. The loss of his title disrupted the heavyweight division, creating a vacuum that led to increased competition and attention on other fighters. Ultimately, Ali's plight highlighted the intersection of sports, politics, and social justice, transforming him into an enduring icon.
