Fighting Day and Night with Jimmy Walker
Truly a man that inspires so many of us, Jimmy Walker, founder and figurehead of Celebrity Fight Night which he started along with his good friend, Charles Barkley in 1994. As the event grew, Jimmy Walker collaborated and worked side by side with the great Muhammad Ali for nearly 20 years before he passed and has raised millions of dollars for the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center and the Banner Neurological Institute. This year's event in Phoenix, AZ has been postponed to October 3, 2020, tickets and info here.
Jimmy is very active at St. Vincent DePaul in downtown Phoenix brining in guest speakers including myself with his "Never Give Up" lunch every week.
Jimmy is a man of great faith, loves his family and especially his beautiful wife of 52 years, Nancy, and his seven grandchildren.
His insurance business is beyond amazing representing renowned and recognized stars, sports figures and celebrities. His newest venture is Celebrity Fight Night Italy with singer Andrea Bocelli, now celebrating its 5th year.
Accomplishments and accolades aside, Jimmy Walker is a good friend and someone I greatly admire and someone that inspires me and hopefully will inspire you!
