After 3 decades with Parkinson's, Roach fights on (The Associated Press)

Boxing trainer Freddie Roach talks during an interview, Tuesday, June 7, 2016, in New York. Roach was 27 when he was first diagnosed with Parkinsons, not long after fellow boxer Muhammad Ali learned he had the disease.

''Again, again, again,'' Roach instructed Zou, catching every punch the 35-year-old boxer threw his way. In his 24-hour-a-day fight against Parkinson's, boxing is his comfort zone, Roach says. Ali died Friday at age 74 in Arizona following a long battle with Parkinson's -- a disease Roach has been living with since he was 27.
