The Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Award has been presented annually at the ESPY Awards since 2015. Formerly the Sports Humanitarian of the Year Award, it was renamed in 2017 to honor the legacy of Muhammad Ali's impact on society. The award is given to an athlete whose continuous, demonstrated leadership has created a measured positive impact on their community through sports. The candidate must embrace the core principles that Muhammad Ali embodied so well, including confidence, conviction, dedication, giving and respect.
