Rahaman followed in his big brother’s boxing footsteps … enjoying a professional boxing career between 1964 and 1972.

Muhammad’s daughter Hana shared a selfie with her uncle paired with a touching text tribute to remember him. She called him a “sweet, gentle soul with a heart as big as the world” and praised his “extraordinary” relationship with her father.

Meanwhile, Laila Ali posted … “My father loved his brother Rahaman so deeply. They are now back in the arms of their beloved parents. May they all rest in eternal peace together.
