Muhammad Ali: How the internet reacted - some powerful tributes to boxing's G.O.A.T.

Tributes from around the world have poured in on social media for Muhammad Ali following his death at the age of 74.

Several hashtags began trending on Twitter in memory of the boxing legend, including: #RIPMuhammadAli, #RumbleintheJungle and #TheGreatest.

Iconic photos, quotes, memories and clips have been shared as the world mourns the loss of the superstar fighter.

In his own words: How Ali wanted to be remembered

“I would like to be remembered as a man who won the heavyweight title three times, who was humorous and who treated everyone right.

“As a man who never looked down on those who looked up to him...who stood up for his beliefs...who tried to unite all humankind through faith and love.

“And if all that's too much, then I guess I'd settle for being remembered only as a great boxer who became a leader and a champion of his people. And I wouldn't even mind if folks forgot how pretty I was.”
