WWE 2K24 has just confirmed a major celebrity as a possible DLC character: the late boxing legend Muhammad Ali. While Ali is remembered largely for his boxing career and activism outside the ring, he also has a surprisingly deep connection to the world of professional wrestling. In 1976, Ali faced legendary wrestler and WWE Hall of Fame member Antonio Inoki in a special “boxer vs. wrestler” match in Tokyo, Japan that ended in a draw. About a decade later, Ali served as the special guest referee for the main event tag-team match at the first WrestleMania, setting the stage for several memorable celebrity appearances at the Showcase of the Immortals.
