Muhammad Ali
Today we are going to share some motivational and inspirational quotes from Muhammad Ali who has been called the greatest boxer among all and is the only person to win three heavy weight titles. He has been nicknamed, the Greatest. He was declared as the ‘Sportsman of the Century’ by Sports Illustrated and Sports Personality of the Century by the BBC.
How ‘The Greatest’ started his journey?
Muhammad Ali’s starting journey is very interesting. At the age of 12, he went to Columbia Auditorium with a friend to watch Louisville Home Show. At the Louisville Home Show, they were providing free hot dogs and popcorn for the visitors. After finishing their meal, Muhammad Ali and his friend decided to go back home. But they found that Ali’s bicycle was missing. Ali got angry and went to report against the thief to police officer Joe Martin. At that time, Joe Martin was also the boxing coach at Columbia Gym.
Muhammad Ali was so angry and said that he just wanted to beat up the person who stole his bicycle. The boxing coach, Joe Martin saw the innocence and confidence in the small kid. He was astonished by Ali’s attitude who was willing to fight someone older than him. So he offered Muhammad Ali a chance to practice in his boxing gym. Ali accepted his offer and started training with the coach.
He practiced six days a week and started waking up early in the morning to run and build his fitness. It was unbelievable to expect that amount of dedication and self-discipline from a 12-year-old boy. And soon he began taking his diet seriously and started avoiding alcohol, cigarettes and the junk food that he loved.
