Parting words of Mohamed Ali from EUBC President

04 June 2016 News
Words can’t express how saddened we are to hear that “The GREATEST” passed away.
With Cassius Clay, gold medal at the Olympic Games in Rome 60, and then Mohammed Ali, leaves us an incomparable champion of the boxing history.
He has honored the Olympic and Professional boxing becoming a myth and a legend.
I had the great honor to shake his hand twice: in the finals of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984 and at the opening ceremony of AIBA World Championships in Chicago in 2007.
His memory will remain indelible in my mind and in all those who admired him in the ring and shared its noble social battles.
On behalf of the EUBC and the whole European boxing movement I address to the family the deepest condolences.
Franco Falcinelli
