On this day, December 11, 1981, Muhammad Ali stepped into the ring for the last time in his legendary boxing career. Facing Trevor Berbick in a 10-round match known as the “Drama in the Bahamas,” Ali lost by unanimous decision.

At 39 years old, Ali’s remarkable career came to a close with this fight, marking the end of an era in boxing. With a record of 56 wins, 5 losses, and 37 knockouts, Ali’s legacy as “The Greatest” remains unmatched, not just for his skill in the ring but also for his charisma and influence outside of it.
