People who inspire me to never give up: Muhammed Ali, Floyd Mayweather and Connor McGregor

What inspires me: People inspire me... because I love to see anyone with courage, determination & heart, who push his or herself past the pain, mental blocks and more importantly day to day struggles to become better and the best that they can be - this is a personal journey.
