Muhammad Ali graffiti art in Birmingham is a knock-out

A Birmingham graffiti artist has painted images of his boxing namesake around the city.

Mohammed Ali said his graffiti had drawn a positive public response, including motorists honking their horns at the sight.

One of his Banksy-style murals of the boxing legend, which appeared at the former Muhammad Ali Centre in Birmingham, has been stolen.

Mr Ali, who was awarded an MBE in the 2016 Queens Birthday Honours list, called the theft "tragic", but said at the same time it was amazing to see the connection people had with the art.

He said had been given permission from some owners to paint on their walls.

"Technically some of them have been done without permission, but they are usually on walls that are worn out," he said.
