Muhammad Ali will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2024, Variety reported on Monday.
The ceremony is scheduled for April 5 in Philadelphia during WrestleMania 40 weekend.
Ali, who died in 2016 at the age of 74, was the special guest referee in the main event of the first WrestleMania, a tag-team showdown featuring Hulk Hogan and Mr. T vs. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff. During his career, Ali won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympics and went on to become the undisputed world heavyweight champion, beating some of boxing’s best in Sonny Liston, Ken Norton, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman.
