Michael Nunn opened up about his journey to world championship glory. Nunn's skills in the ring quickly established him as a formidable opponent, to the extent that boxing legends like Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, and Sugar Ray Leonard reportedly avoided facing him. Nunn pointed out that he never wanted to fight Marvin Hagler because of the respect he had for the late boxer's willingness to offer him guidance and invaluable advice on staying in peak condition and relishing the thrill of the fight. Nunn's prowess shone through when he squared off professionally against Frank Tate, a former amateur rival who had previously bested him. Despite Tate's trash talk, Nunn scored a TKO victory, clinching the IBF world title. This historic win marked a significant milestone, making him the first world champion from Iowa, celebrated by his home community.
