We’ve all been knocked down in relationships, work, illness and more but don’t let these hardships keep you down! Find your inner fighter and don’t be scared to get back up - you’re stronger than you think👊🏾
@SugarRayLeonard

On this day of April 6, 1987 I faced one of the most incredible boxing champions in Marvelous Marvin Hagler at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas ,Nevada! 32 years later it still resonates in my mind & spirit so Thank You & God Bless my fans & Hagler’s 👊🏾🥊👊🏾❤️Sugar
I can’t believe that today is the 38th anniversary of my first fight with
@robertoduranbox
. Although in boxing, as in life, losing is always hard, it serves a great lesson. This fight taught me how to be a better fighter! I challenge you to find the lessons in your defeats....
Discipline for me started at an early age but it was the cornerstone of my success. You’ve got to work harder than everyone else around you in order to become the best. Go for it!

Welcome to 2023! It’s been a tough time for the majority of us & this is when we must all be that fighter outside the boxing ring & use our principles that made us Champions! Work hard, don’t give up & believe in yourself because if you don’t no one else will! I’m in your corner
Djokovic vs Federer is one of the most incredible sporting events I’ve witnessed as I was glued to the TV of that amazing contest of skill, talent, heart and everything that it takes to win the Big One!
40 YEARS AGO TODAY! 🤯 Sept. 16, 1981 vs.
@realtommyhearns
. It was nearly 100°F in the ring, I was down at the end of the 12th round & Angelo Dundee gave the perfect sound bite “you’re blowing it son! You’re blowing it!” & that activated my reserve to come back & win.
I looked up to this man so much I even tried impersonating him in the ring a few times - RIP to a true fighter both in spirit and in strength ✊🏾

Maybe my outfit had something to do with my first loss against Roberto Duran? It was hard to move in those high waisted shorts and the tassels got in my way! Yeah... I think that’s what happened. I still love you Roberto

I’m aging myself here but man, it’s crazy.. 43 years ago today, February 5, 1977, I made my professional debut 🥊 I took on Luis Vega in Baltimore and won in a unanimous decision. The arena was packed and I remember thinking “Is this really happening??”
Thank you to everyone who took the time to wish me a Happy Birthday yesterday! Going into another year feeling very grateful for my health, my family, and the people I have in my corner. Let’s continue motivating, inspiring, and growing! 👊🏾
I've been busy reminiscing on some memorable moments from my career, and I'm excited to start sharing with you! Does anyone remember this one?

Leon Spinks was one of the 5 of us who brought home a Gold Medal in The 1976 Olympics for the US Boxing team. Leon’s style was like none-other! Very few fighters could cope with Leon. I will miss you my friend! Rest In Peace ❤️👊🏾🥊

Today, I’m honoring all who have served our country. My father was a US Navy Veteran and one of my heroes. All US Veterans are heroes! Thanks for your service, champs! 👊🏾🥊❤️

One of my favorite ways to start the day is by writing 3 things I’m grateful for. It immediately changes your mindset and inspires you to work harder 👊🏾 try it out & let me know what you think
In order to be the best at whatever you do, you’ve got to put in the work. Consistency and repetition will yield results! Go for it!

People ask me often, do I miss boxing? I miss those moments. The days, weeks and months of the transformation of my mind, body, and spirit. The people that still hold a place in my heart that range from family and friends to assistants, trainers, and competitors.
The welterweights division is on fire again with Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, Errol Spence, Shawn Porter and so many more talented and gifted fighters! Keep it going!!!
Spence displayed dominance and control against García and my prediction was somewhat taken out of context in what I predicted was about who started and establish control and that was Errol Spence being the case! Congratulations Errol!
#arethafranklin
An incredible moment I had with Aretha Franklin now feels like yesterday! First of all,she was such a fighter of the rights and wrongs of people along with that amazing voice that was a gift! I spoke with her & her knowledge of boxing blew me away! RIP
1st Monday of 2019! How’re you going to challenge yourself this year? I’m going to make every day a chance to be the best version of myself, physically & mentally. Let’s achieve our goals together 💪🏾 lots more coming this year, get ready!

WOW... last night Andy Ruiz Jr. proved to everyone, including myself to never judge a book by its cover! He began to reveal himself when he got up from the first knockdown by Joshua. Unbelievable upset! 👊🏾🥊👊🏾
