Just briefly there, checking the Muhammad Ali Twitter account, although ‘The Greatest’ is now gone from this Earth — is still always a great read for any boxing fan.

Remembering yesterday this classic before the Liston fight:

Muhammad Ali predicted his victory over Sonny Liston saying that he would “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” and knock out Liston.

Ali, there will never be a boxer like him again surely.

Dynamite in the ring but kind and a real champion of humanity outside the ring.

He still inspires boxing and sports worldwide today and always will:
