Azumah Nelson appeared on the global stage in 1982. Although he lost his first fight, he gained worldwide attention as a future champion. Two years later, he bounced back, annexed the crown and went on to achieve exploits, reigning as a world champion for over a decade. We hosted Azumah in April 2011 on Springboard, your Virtual University, and discussed his rise to the global stage, the lessons of his life, the challenges he overcame to get to the top and how he remained at the top for so long.
