I have been a boxing fan all my life, watching Ali as a kid and Tyson as a young man. They were superstars and were mobbed everywhere they went anywhere in the world. We haven't had a heavyweight like that in a long time.
Interestingly, when we had Forrest Griffin here last year for FitX, he was stopped and recognised everywhere we went, even at the Melbourne zoo which was mostly families. Surprised me a bit really, how popular he was.
