Jole Burghy had always known the story of a young Cassius Clay who was inspired by her grandfather, Joe Martin, to start boxing to avenge the person who stole his bicycle.

It wasn't until she got older that she realised the younger Cassius Clay was the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali.

Burghy says of her Grandfather that " from the start he saw that he was a special person and he had the drive to be the greatest".
