In honor of his 68th birthday, boxing great Bash Ali reflects on his life and the sacrifices he made in the name of his beliefs. He expressed his resolve to improve his current situation and shared his opinions on Facebook.
He revealed in his passionate essay how he battled corruption in both sports and the country at large for 17 years while working to hold his Guinness World Record Boxing Championship Fight in Nigeria.
