Boxing great Muhammad (3)

I believe the answer is:

ali

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ali that I've seen before include "Person" , "Mohammad . . ., . . . Hewson" , "Muhammad --, US boxer" , "Former boxing champion" , "Ringmaster" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the King Feature Syndicate.
