Because he clearly was joking and made fun of them. Bragging is something different. I also find it funny but not surprising that you take this one incident and don't consider all the other things he said in his life. But I applaud your effort in finding something meeting your expectations. It's not that easy, since most of what Ali said was on entirely different lines.
He said the same thing in other interviews. His interview with Parkinson in 1971 is paraphrasing exactly what he's saying that little video but he even goes into further detail. He talks about how mixed race couples will never get along for around 5 minutes solid, it's fairly well known non controversial knowledge that Muhammad Ali was a part of the nation of Islam and believed black and white people should remain separate.

I don't get the confusion, did you think that the nation of Islam in the 1970s was for integration? Also just to avoid any other confusion with anyone reading this, it was only in a specific time period in his life that he was with the nation of Islam (I already stated this) and I'm not making a big deal of it I'm just providing citation when asked for it.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
