Question: Who wrote  a book about Muhammad Ali and boxers who opposed him?
Context: Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah, or Muhammad Ali Khan Walla Jah (7 July 1717 – 13 October 1795), was the Nawab of Arcot in India and an ally of the British East India Company.  Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah was born to Anwaruddin Muhammed Khan, by his second wife, "Fakhr un-nisa Begum Sahiba", was a niece of Sayyid Ali Khan Safavi ul-Mosawi of Persia, sometime Naib suba of Trichonopoly, on 7 July 1717 at Delhi.  Muhammed Ali Khan Wallajah the Nawab of Arcot often referred to himself as the Subedar of the Carnatic in his letters and correspondence with the then Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II. Major Mian Kifait Ali (July 1902 – 1 December 1994) was a pioneer of the Pakistan movement, his masterpiece book ""Confederacy of India"" published in 1939, under the pen name "A Punjabi" was the first to deal with political, economic and administrative aspects of Pakistan.  He was amongst the first to respond to the call of Pakistan sounded by Muhammad Iqbal in 1930 (Qutote from Chaudhry Muhammad Ali, Prime Minister of Pakistan), Dr. Khursheed kamal aziz Pakistan's official historian) has described this book as "the most comprehensive and far reaching scheme aimed at furthering and elaborating the idea of Pakistan.  Waheed uz-Zaman wrote in his book, "Pakistan", Lahore, 1964, P. 168, "The book was taken into consideration by the Muslim league, while preparing the Lahore resolution and the fact the solution proposed in the confederacy of India" differed but little from the proposed by the Muslim League in March 1940.  The venear of a Confederacy, which was the main theme of his scheme, could anytime be set aside and the remainder would have precisely... Pakistan.  So scholarly and so cogent was his reasoning that men like Dr.Rajendra Prasad felt compelled to join issues with him in his books, ("Pakistan"(Bombay and Calcutta, September 1940), p 34; see also his book ""India Divided"" page 180-181).  The book was reviewed in leading newspapers and journals.  Comparatively more scholarly appraisal was in the "Tarjaman-ul-Quran" of Maulana Abul Ala Maududi.  According to Mian Kifait Ali "The idea was suggested to me by the late Choudhary Rahmat Ali's writings and I developmed it to an extent to which no one had done earlier (Letter to Dr. K.K, September 5, 1968)".  Ali also stated that originally it was proposed to publish the book under the title of "Pakistan" a typed manuscript which bore this page title was sent to the press.  Soon after he received a telegraphic message from the Muhammad Ali Jinnah that book should not appear under the pen name of "Pakistan".  It was to comply with the Quaid's directive he prepared a federal scheme and was incorporated in the introduction of the book.  Thus the book was titled as "Confederacy of India".  (Nation article, 23 December 1994 by Sarfraz Hussain Mirza, ""Confederacy of India by A Punjabi"", also in Daily Times, Cam Diary, ""Pak history in Leichester"", and article by V.P Bhatia ""'Jinnah was against the name 'Pakistan' at First"".  It was in recognition of this work of Mian Kifait Ali that he was invited to work on the committee presided over by Sir Abdullah Haroon set up in February 1940 to examine the various schemes of constitutional reforms for India and to see whether a consolidated scheme can finally be framed.  His book has been referred to as the most comprehensive schemes at demystifying and detailing the ideas regarding the inception of Pakistan, quite a lot has been written about him and his work.  Mian Kifait Ali has done "pioneering work in the evolution of Muslim political thoughts and has suffered the hardship of a pioneer… when an objective appraisal of Muslim political movement is made by the historian.  He will find an honourable place among the pioneers and selfless workers in this great field of Muslim reconstruction (Quoted by Governor Punjab, Mushtaq Ahmed Gurmani).  Famous independence-era personalities such as Abul Ala Maududi, Chaudhry Muhammad Ali, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Vengalil Krishnan Krishna Menon, and Sardar V. Patel took issue with him.  He responded in several pamphlets. Muhammad Ali Khan (died 1853), popularly known as Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan Bahadur, was perhaps the most well known and reputed Nawab of Masulipatam in India.  He was preceded by Qutb Ud Daula.  The Nawabs of Masulipatam ruled under the Nizam in east India.  The title was later known as Nawab of Banganapalle, as they family shifted from the region of Masulipatam to the territory of Banganapalle.  Nawab Muhammad Ali Khan Bahadur belongs to the dynasty of Najm-i-Sani. The Muhammad Ali Dynasty ruled Egypt without interruption from Muhammad Ali's seizure of power in 1805 until the proclamation of the Republic in 1953.  Eleven individuals (all of them men) ruled Egypt during the dynasty's 148-year lifespan.  Due to the polygamous unions of several 19th-century rulers and their often numerous offspring, it is impossible to list all of the descendants of Muhammad Ali Pasha in a single chart.  The family tree below is far from exhaustive; its mere aim is to show the family relationships between the dynasty's eleven rulers as well as its two regents. Abbas I (Arabic: عباس الأول ‎ ‎ , Turkish: "I. Abbas Hilmi Paşa" 1 July 181213 July 1854), also known as Abbas Hilmi I Pasha or Abbas Pasha was the Wāli of Egypt and Sudan.  He was a son of Tusun Pasha, and a grandson of Muhammad Ali, founder of the reigning Muhammad Ali Dynasty of Egypt and Sudan.  The Chambers Biographical Dictionary says of him: "[b]igoted and sensual, he did much to undo the progress made under Muhammad Ali." Muhammad Ali: The Glory Years is a 2003 biography of Muhammad Ali co-authored by Felix Dennis and Don Atyeo.  The book is described as a photo-rich biography focussing on Ali's boxing fights starting from the age of 12 to his retirement.  The book is based upon the authors's interviews with Ali, and also interviews with Ali's friends, family, opponents, and trainers.  The book's coverage of Ali's boxing matches has been praised while the chapter on Ali's fight with George Foreman has been described as "an absolute classic."  According to a review in "Mint", the book features "[s]ports writing at its best." Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight is a 2013 American television drama film about the late boxer Muhammad Ali's refusal to report for induction into the United States military during the Vietnam War, focusing on how the United States Supreme Court decided to rule in Ali's favor in the 1971 case of "Clay v. United States".  The film was directed by Stephen Frears, from a screenplay written by Shawn Slovo based on the 2000 book "Muhammad Ali's Greatest Fight: Cassius Clay vs. the United States of America" by Howard Bingham and Max Wallace.  It premiered on HBO on October 5, 2013. Muhammad Ali ( ; born Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.; January 17, 1942 – June 3, 2016) was an American professional boxer and activist.  He is widely regarded as one of the most significant and celebrated sports figures of the 20th century.  From early in his career, Ali was known as an inspiring, controversial, and polarizing figure both inside and outside the ring. Facing Ali is a 2002 book authored by Stephen Brunt; it is about fifteen different fighters from around the world who battled with Muhammad Ali in boxing fights.  In each chapter of the book, one of the selected fighters recalls the experience of fighting with Ali.  The profiled fighters include Ali's famous opponents like George Foreman, Joe Frazier, and Ken Norton; and also the relatively obscure like the German butcher Jurgen Blin who "was back at work at the sausage factory" after having fought with Ali the previous day.  Other fighters profiled in the book include Tunney Hunsaker, Jean Pierre Coopman, Henry Cooper, Ron Lyle, Chuck Wepner, George Chuvalo and Larry Holmes. Monarchs of the Muhammad Ali dynasty reigned over Egypt from 1805 to 1953.  Their rule also extended to Sudan throughout much of this period, as well as to the Levant, and Hejaz during the first half of the 19th century.  The Muhammad Ali dynasty was founded by Muhammad Ali Pasha, an Albanian commander in the expeditionary force sent by the Ottoman Empire in 1801 to dislodge the French occupation of Egypt led by Napoleon Bonaparte.  The defeat and departure of the French left a power vacuum in Egypt, which had been an Ottoman province since the 16th century, but in which the pre-Ottoman Mamluk military caste maintained considerable power.  After a three-year civil war, Muhammad Ali managed to consolidate his control over Egypt, and declared himself Khedive of the country.  The Ottoman Porte refused to acknowledge this title, instead recognizing Muhammad Ali by the more junior title of "Wāli" (meaning governor or viceroy) on 18 June 1805, making Muhammad Ali the successor to Ahmad Khurshid Pasha in that position.  In the years following his consolidation of power, Muhammad Ali extended Egypt's borders south into Sudan, and eastwards into the Arab Mashreq, particularly the Levant.  In 1840, his demand for hereditary control of Egypt and Sudan to be passed to his heirs and successors was accepted and confirmed by the Convention of London, but he was compelled to agree that, upon his death, control over his territories in the Mashreq would revert to the Porte.
