In his youth，Mandela enjoyed boxing．Even during the 27years he spent in prison，he would exercise every morning．"I did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it．Boxing is equal．I never did any real fighting after I entered politics．My main interest was in training，"he wrote in his autobiography Long Walk to Freedom．
Among the memorabilia in the Mandela Family Museum in Soweto，visitors call find the world championship belt given to Mandela by American boxer Sugar Ray Leonard．
Rolihlahla Mandela was nine years old when a teacher at the primary Methodist school  where he was studying，gave him an English name-Nelson-in accordance with the custom to give all school children Christian names．
