The Prime Minister shared the video clip posted by Challenge Team YouTube channel, titled ‘Muhammad Ali’s biggest fight was not in the ring’.
In the video clip based on the various interview clippings, Muhammad Ali said, “I just keep working and keep training. Keep running. At nights, at 9:00, I get in because that’s when the action starts.”
