"Muhammad Ali is an inspiration to me and many others. He was always a real fighter. He stands for a lot of energy and charisma. Ali is an idol for millions of people. He is the 'Rocky of life," Klitschko said at the ceremony in London.

The gala took place to honor "humanity in sport" and to draw attention to the study of Parkinson's disease and the Muhammad Ali Center, a cultural center in Louisville / USA.
