Sports fans were left devastated earlier this month when it was announced that three-time heavyweight champion had passed away aged 74.
However, despite widespread coverage of his death and his ensuing funeral, many believe they remember ‘The World’s Greatest’ dying several years ago.
A conspiracy theory known as the ‘Mandela Effect’ – named after the belief that Nelson Mandela actually died in prison rather than going on to rule South Africa – claims memories from a parallel universe could seep over into this one.
Fiona Broome, a paranormal consultant and creator of the Mandela Effect, explains on her website: “Many of us — mostly total strangers — remember the exact same events with the exact same details.
“However, our memories are different from what’s in history books, newspaper archives, and so on.
“This isn’t a conspiracy, and we’re not talking about ‘false memories’.
“Many of us speculate that parallel realities exist, and we’ve been “sliding” between them without realising it.”
As a result, the theory has resurfaced in light of Ali’s death, with many believing that the boxer died years ago.
Many people have taken to social media to share their memories of Ali’s death – but not the passing earlier this month.

However, Ms Brooms says she hasn’t got “a clue” what causes the out-there phenomenon.
Other theories that fall into the Mandela Effect include the belief that Hurricane Katrina did not strike in August 2005, but rather four months earlier, and Dirty Dancing’s Patrick Swayze survived his cancer battle in 2009.
