Irish plumber floats his way to Ali’s 72nd birthday

An Irish plumber helped boxing legend Muhammad Ali celebrate his 72nd birthday after he knocked on his door just to say hello.

Tony Kelly was unknowingly working on the same street where Ali lives in Louisville, Kentucky. His friends told him who the famous resident was but the Donegal man thought they were joking.

The 24-year-old from the fishing village of Greencastle on the Inishowen peninsula is a huge fan of Ali. So he decided he had nothing to lose but knock on the door of the house last Friday.
