My brother, muhammad ali

Esteemed boxing fans/colleagues.

Did you know that Muhammad Ali had a brother? It's amazing how many folks do not know this, including boxing fans. If you look at most of the Muhammad Ali photos, you will see his younger brother Rahaman Ali directly over his shoulder. I believe more folks will come to know who Rahaman (often misspelled as Rahman) Ali is very soon!

Especially with the USA release of his new book titled MY BROTHER, MUHAMMAD ALI - THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY. Many books have been written on Muhammad Ali. However, the voice missing, belongs to the man that knew him longer and better than anyone...his own brother! I can hardly wait to October 9th USA release date!

I believe that every reputable writer of a biography of Ali would have to have had extensive taped interviews with his brother being a major source, (I think his name was Rudolph) And if he had refused them (maybe because he always intended to write one himself) they would have made a big point of it in their books. He was also a boxer but not much good and faded away as I recall. He used to spar with Ali I think. I recall him as a self effacing, modest, nice guy, nothing like his brother.
