Fun Facts

Muhammad Ali’s journey into boxing began after his bicycle was stolen at age 12! Furious about the theft, he told a police officer he wanted to beat up the thief. The officer, Joe Martin, also happened to be a boxing trainer and advised him to learn how to fight first. Just six weeks later, Ali won his first amateur boxing match.
