Kenneth Howard Norton, Sr. (August 9, 1943 – September 18, 2013), best known as Ken Norton, was an American professional boxer. He was the WBC world heavyweight champion from 1977 to 1978 and is best known for his trilogy with Muhammad Ali, in which he defeated Ali in their first bout by split decision over twelve rounds in March 1973. Their rematch also ended in a split decision, this time in favour of Ali. The third fight was won by Ali, but many observers thought Norton had won. He also is known for his slugfest with Larry Holmes in June 1978. In 1992, Norton was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. He died of stroke complications at a care facility in Henderson, Nevada on September 18, 2013 at the age of 70.
Early years
Norton was an outstanding athlete at Jacksonville High School. He was a member of the state championship football team and was selected to the all-state team on defense as a senior in 1960. His track coach entered him in eight events, and Norton placed first in seven of them. As a result, the "Ken Norton Rule," which limits participation of an athlete to a maximum of four track and field events, was instituted in Illinois high school sports. After graduating from high school, Norton went to Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman State University) on a football scholarship and studied elementary education.
Kenneth Norton (born 2 November 1932) was an Englishcricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and left-arm slow bowler who played for Northumberland. He was born in Gateshead and educated at Gateshead Secondary School later called Gateshead Grammar School.
Norton played in the Minor Counties Championship for Northumberland between 1954 and 1980.
Norton appeared in three List A matches between 1971 and 1977. He did not bat in any of them, took one catch in the outfield, and bowled 18.4 overs in all, taking two wickets.
Norton's brother Don was a cricket umpire who stood in three List A matches.
Ken Norton was a college men's basketball coach. He was the head coach of Manhattan from 1946 to 1968. He coached Manhattan to a 300-205 record, winning six conference championships and eleven postseason appearances. He played his college basketball under coach Clair Bee at LIU.
He went on to play at UCLA from 1984 to 1987, where he was converted to linebacker, the position he would play for the remainder of his football career.
