The Swedish striker was amazed by the late boxer's personality on and off the canvas, helping him decide how he was going to approach life's problems.

If you thought Zlatan Ibrahimovic's personality was authentic-made, you'll be sad to hear he had sort of a role model in late boxer Muhammad Ali.

Usually referred to as the greatest fighter who ever lived, Ali was a source of inspiration for those who saw him on his prime. Being a key element of the 60s, Ali's personality was hard to overlook, and that's a trade Zlatan adapted to his own life style.

Speaking in an interview published by his own brand, A-Z Sportswear, the Swedish ace went deeper into what elements made Muhammad Ali a source of inspiration when he was growing up.

The tall Manchester United striker has been in scintillating form recently, scoring eight goals in the same amount of matches. With his help, the Red Devils will try to climb back up in the EPL standings when they face West Brom this Saturday.
