Muhammad Ali's childhood home in Kentucky on sale for $1.5 million

This two-bedroom, one-bathroom house in Louisville, which has been converted into a museum, offers a glimpse into the early years of "The Greatest" when he was still known as Cassius Clay.

The property, currently listed on the market, includes two neighbouring homes. One has been transformed into a welcome centre and gift shop, while the other is intended for short-term rental.

The owners are asking for $1.5 million (£1.1 million) for all three properties. Co-owner George Bochetto stated that finding a buyer committed to preserving Ali's childhood home as a museum would be "the best possible outcome."

The museum opened shortly before Ali's death in 2016. Bochetto and his business partner renovated the house to reflect its appearance during Ali's childhood, using old photos to replicate the furnishings, appliances, artwork, and even the pink exterior from that era.

Ali lived in the home when he left for the 1960 Olympics in Rome, where he won a gold medal. This marked the beginning of a career that would make him one of the most recognisable figures in the world and a three-time heavyweight boxing champion.
