Have you ever felt inspired to take up a new hobby or sport after watching a movie or TV show? That’s exactly what happened to 58-year-old James Welsh after he saw Michael B. Jordan’s Creed III. The actor’s performance as a boxer reignited Welsh’s passion for the sport, leading him to start training again.

But what’s different about Welsh’s story is that he’s not a young up-and-comer looking to make a name for himself in the ring, rather he’s a middle-aged actor. Nevertheless, Welsh’s dedication and hard work have impressed fans and garnered attention online.
