Muhammad Ali is a British boxer of Pakistani origin and his parents are from Crore Lal Aisan Tehsil of Leh District.Ali had applied for a boxing license in 2015, but the British Boxing Board refused to grant him a license because of diabetes because at that time, according to board rules, no diabetic boxer could obtain a professional license.Ali, with the help of an experienced team, challenged the boxing board and together with good friends staged a peaceful protest against the decision and eventually the board had to license him.Ali has also opened the door for other diabetic boxers.Muhammad Ali was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of five and felt weak. When his parents took him to the hospital, doctors told him he had diabetes.He started playing sports at the age of five but at the age of twelve he decided to become a boxer.
Ali applied to become a professional boxer in 2015, but the British Boxing Board rejected his application, saying he did not license type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

In this difficult time, Asad Shamim (who is now Ali's manager) told Ali not to give up and to challenge the board.Ali challenged the board with the help of Dr. Ian Gillian, Asad Shamim and his trainer Alex Matveenko, and after almost three years of continuous hard work, succeeded in obtaining a professional license. He is the first diabetic boxer in British history to receive a professional license.He also made the boxing board think that if a diabetic boxer is physically fit, they should have no hesitation in licensing him.

Appeal for support from Muslim and Pakistani community

I think so. That we need to promote our people instead of looking for each other's faults and that is the only way we can move forward as a nation. "
