How many times did Muhammad Ali fight for the heavyweight boxing title?

July 9, 2020January 7, 2012 by Pamela Landy

Muhammad Ali defended the heavyweight boxing title 19 times-5 times in 1966 alone, 4 in 1976.

But Ali doesn’t hold a candle to Joe Louis, who defended his title 25 times, with 7 fights in 1941.
