Mary Kom
The world has been captivated by Mary Kom's incredible achievements. She has been dubbed "Muhammad Ali's little sister" by many and praised for her incredible strength, agility, and chin.

Prince
When you think of Muhammad Ali, what comes to mind? The great champion, humanitarian, and lover of women shared many traits and characteristics with the Prince.

He shared a passion for social issues and religious beliefs. But what is it that makes Muhammad Ali my hero?
Cassius Marcellus Clay
The legend of Muhammad Ali's first title defense began with Cassius Marcellus Clay, the younger son of boxing great Cassius Clay Sr. Clay began his boxing career when he was 12 years old. He was inspired to train by a police officer who had recently seen a thief steal his bicycle. After training under the police officer, Clay went on to win several state and national boxing titles and the gold medal in light heavyweight competition.
Muhammad Ali's influence on American society
Though he was an elite heavyweight boxing champion, Muhammad Ali's influence on American society is difficult to measure. Before his career, he was widely viewed as a loquacious clown. By the end of his career, he had become famous as an outspoken critic of the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War. In fact, he became polarizing in terms of political and social issues and was the subject of a book that became an instant bestseller.
His fight against draft evasion
Muhammad Ali's fight against draft evasion in the Vietnam War is one of the most inspiring stories of the war in the twentieth century. It was during the war that he and other draft evaders became prominent in Canada and the United States. The Supreme Court has recently overturned the conviction of Michael Hendricks, a Vancouver city councillor. He was accused of manipulating the draft system, and is my hero.
His retirement
His retirement is my hero's moment, and I wish him the best in his new role. I admired his bravery and courage when I was younger and would never let anyone down. He is now my number one hero. He is not a bright and charismatic person, but he roars. But, he is not free from problems. He has a family and his kids don't agree on all issues, and he has to deal with different personalities in his life.
