The Muhammad Ali Centre in Louisville, a city where he lived and contributed to the community for decades, confirmed the news.
Rahaman, born on July 18, 1943, followed in the footsteps of his famous brother and developed a career as a professional boxer between 1964 and 1972.
However, for his community in Louisville, he will be most remembered for volunteer work, commitment to the poor and his silent but powerful role, reports Clen Kosovo, broadcast Periscope.
Whenever we organized social aid activities, Rahaman and his wife were always there. They were the last to leave, sharing food and clothing with needy people,” said Wanda McIntyre from the Baptist Church “King Solomon”.
Previously known as Rudolph “Rudy” Clay, he changed his name after converting to Islam.
Local activist Ray Barker described as “a calm lightning”, always near people, without fuss, helping young people with encouraging words and positive examples. /Periscope/
