Boxing great (3)

I believe the answer is:

'boxing great' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ali that I've seen before include "Muhammad --, US boxer" , "Egyptian name" , "Muhammad's son-in-law" , "Muslim name" , "Muhammad - - , legendary boxer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, The Star Tribune and The Wall Street Journal.
