Short answer...He met Cap’n Sam...a Nation of Islam minister of a Miami mosque where he was training for the 1st Liston fight... was introduced to Malcolm X and they took him under their guidance...where his importance quickly grew being a high profile figure within the organization. They were his introduction and conversion into Islam...which was kept a secret until after he won the championship. He would later in life break away from the Nation of Islam over financial issues saying they had stolen his money...but remained a Muslim.
