Geocache Description:

This is my latest Question of Sport cache set as a tribute to one of the best boxers of all time.

The headline coordinates are for parking there is nothing hidden there.

Cassius Clay was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, and began training as an amateur boxer when he was 12 years old. At 18, he won a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, and converted to Islam shortly afterwards. At 22, he won the WBA and WBC heavyweight titles from Sonny Liston in an upset in 1964. Clay then changed his legal name from Cassius Clay, which he called his "slave name", to Muhammad Ali, and gave a message of racial pride for African Americans and resistance to white domination during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement.[13][14]

In 1966, two years after winning the heavyweight title, Ali further antagonised the white establishment in the U.S. by refusing to be conscripted into the U.S. military, citing his religious beliefs and opposition to American involvement in the Vietnam War.[13][15] He was eventually arrested, found guilty of draft evasion charges and stripped of his boxing titles. He successfully appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which overturned his conviction in 1971, by which time he had not fought for nearly four years—losing a period of peak performance as an athlete. Ali's actions as a conscientious objector to the war made him an icon for the larger counterculture generation.

To find the cache a little research is needed.

1. What date did Ali make his professional debut against American Tunney Hunsaker, AB/CD/1960

2. He finished with a record of EF & 5.

3. He was born on the 1G/01/19H2

The final coordinates are, N 50 HH.(B-E) A(F-C) W 003 AB.(B-G)G(B-A)

"Congratulations to Chudliegh Traveller on such a quick find."
