Muhammad Ali fought in the ring for the last time in a fight billed as ‘The
Drama in the Bahamas’. It was against 27- year old Trevor Berbick and 
Ali lost the match with a unanimous 10 round decision. It was after this
loss that Ali announced his retirement and finished a career with a 56
and 5 record, 37 of those wins were by knockout.
