__ Baba (Arabian Nights hero) (3)

I believe the answer is:

ali

(Other definitions for ali that I've seen before include "Muhammad ..., famous boxer" , "Cassius Clay became Muhammad ..." , "Muhammad --, US boxer" , "Champion boxer" , "Muhammad ..., former boxer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
