Rejected petition Award Mohammed Ali a posthumous honorary knighthood.

Arguably boxing's most celebrated athlete, Muhammad Ali lived by his principles, transcended faith, colour and culture. He touched many lives and is in my view THE greatest sportsman of all time. He was more than a sportsman, he was an inspiration to people all over the world.
