VIDEO – In the program “L’Essentiel” broadcast on C8, the mayor of the 7th arrondissement confides her deep admiration for the legendary boxer.
Mohamed Ali, an artist? This is the opinion of Rachida Dati, who confesses in a column broadcast on Sunday evening on C8 entitled “I would have liked to be an artist” that she would gladly reincarnate in Mohamed Ali, the virtuoso of the ring, who died in June 2016. The admiration she has for him goes far beyond the ring … It is his personality, his energy, and his singularity that impress the mayor of the 7th arrondissement of Paris.
If I box, it’s for the mental, the physical, and the surpassing of oneself that this implies
Rachida Dati
“I admire Mohamed Ali because what animated me, since I was a child, is freedom, total freedom, in personal and professional life, my opinions, my life choices… In the world, there are very few personalities who embody all of this at the same time ”, she confides to Quentin Périnel, columnist in the program “L’Essentiel” presented by Philippe Labro.
If Rachida Dati is a boxer in a personal capacity, this does not mean that she identifies with Mohamed Ali when she puts on her gloves. “I am not one of those who play a sport because a star or an idol does too. If I box, it’s for the mental, the physical, and the surpassing of oneself that this implies ”, she specifies, taking a pair of gloves out of her bag.
