Arnold recalled when he hosted an international competition along with legendary bodybuilder Franco Columbu in Los Angeles, California. As it was during the early stages of their career, they fell short of money to buy trophies. However, someone in their acquaintance urged them to call the famous boxer Sugar Ray Robinson. “Without even thinking about it, he gave us a couple thousand dollars to get the trophies. Think about that generosity,” he wrote. Robinson accepted their request without hesitation. Arnold received monetary support from the Hall of Famer American boxer when he wasn’t a millionaire himself.

Arnold and Muhammad Ali

Arnold is an ardent fan of combat sports. The legendary bodybuilder did not miss an opportunity to watch boxing matches ever since he was young. The legend recalled that because of the time difference in Austria, he would listen to the fight commentary on the radio during the strangest hours. Arnold would watch the match at electronics stores as his family could not afford a television. Sonny Liston, Muhammad Ali, Floyd Patterson, and Ingemar Johansson were among his favorites.

Arnold became great friends with the legendary boxer, Muhammad Ali, in the later course of his life. They appeared in TV shows together. The legendary bodybuilder recalled that there was no one like Ali. The dedication and grit with which Ali would train were awe-inspiring. Ali displayed great courage and strength in the ring. Recalling an unforgettable incident he wrote,” I’ll always remember when I asked him how many sit-ups he did and he told me he didn’t know because he only starts counting when it starts hurting. That’s discipline.”
