It has been seven years since the boxing world lost the most iconic name in boxing. Muhammad Ali was more than a boxer; he was an inspiration and a highly devoted human being. Recently, an old clip of Muhammad Ali surfaced on YouTube. In the clip, Ali described the steps in his morning ablutions that helped him achieve success. Unsurprisingly, fans cherished those words from the late boxing legend and quickly took to the comment section.

Originally named Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr, Ali transitioned to Islam in 1964 and changed his name to what everyone knows him by today. It was perhaps the most defining moment of Ali’s life as it transformed him into a different human being.

In the clip, The Greatest describes his daily routine. Ali claims that he gets up early in the morning, cleans himself, and wears a clean white robe. Describing his actions further, he asserts that he brushes his teeth, washes his mouth, and prays to the maker, facing East. The greatest Heavyweight boxer of all time asserts that he does those things to seek improvement, strength, and power from the almighty. Ali’s words stirred up emotions in fans, and they lost themselves in nostalgic bliss.

Fans claim Ali would knock this Heavyweight boxer out in just three rounds 

In his prime, Muhammad Ali was always the center of admiration and praise. It did not change even after his passing. After the video started circulating on YouTube, admirers took to the comment section to describe their wishes and opinions. The fact that the video has over 45K views and 106 comments in under a day is saying something.
