Be your own boxing champion, the people's boxing champion

The boxing champion is Ali's glory ten years ago, and the title he struggled to defend ten years later.
The various injustices experienced in the past ten years have failed to extinguish the arrogance in Ali's bones and the soul of defending dignity to the death. Discrimination against people of color, conflicts of religious beliefs, and criticism from the media. . . Stimulating his self-esteem all the time. Ali, lived out the reality of that era. He resists, is unruly, speaks without considering the consequences, he uses the most rebellious way to publicize his dissatisfaction, and he uses the most direct way to show the man's vitality.
He desperately got rid of his original name, because in his heart, it was a name belonging to a slave. He wants to break free from the shackles of a century, live for himself, and live for thousands of oppressed and discriminated ethnic people. When pride collides with reality, sparks go up and down, bursting out of the boxing ring as my domineering and fearless king.
He is not perfect. He is a strong man, not a saint. He speaks badly, is arrogant, defiant, and unfaithful to marriage, but these are Ali's own characteristics and charms. The saint is used for worship, and his imperfection makes this character setting closer to life and to society itself. How can we expect that a society full of blemishes can nurture a perfect personality? It is these shortcomings that make Ali more vividly displayed before our eyes.
The small boxing ring belongs to Ali's world. He has proved his ability with success in each field, and with victories, he has crushed the rumors and discrimination of others. The title of boxing champion represents status and dignity. Facing the reporters with his back to him, he beat the drum vigorously, yelling "I am the champion". He wanted to be eye-catching because of his desire to win and his strong self-esteem. He does not allow failure, but when failure does come, he is unexpectedly calm, his reason surpasses his sensibility, and he is already a spiritual winner.
Full of self-confidence, live true and forthright, defend dignity and independence. This is the arrogance of the king and the undefeated soul.
