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.
as big of a mouth as ali had, he was actually a very gracious loser when beaten. if you mean getting stripped of his titles for not submitting to the draft, of course he was angry, and it just reinforced everything he was saying about the government at the time.

Muhammad Ali was stripped of his heavyweight boxing championship title for refusing induction into the armed services during the Vietnam War, citing his religious beliefs and opposition to the war. He famously stated, "I ain't got no quarrel with the Viet Cong." Ali regained his title by defeating George Foreman in the "Rumble in the Jungle," held in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) on October 30, 1974. This victory marked a significant comeback in his boxing career.
