Omar Choudri has been fighting since shortly after he saw Muhammad Ali light the torch at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, fearlessly shrugging off the gasps from people seeing the ravages of Parkinson's on The Greatest. That scene catalyzed young Choudri, who was born in Brooklyn, raised in Maspeth and lives in Bayside. "I thought then, 'I'm going to be a champion," said the light heavyweight boxer, who will make his pro debut on Oct. 5, on a Havoc Boxing card, shortly before he turns 30 years old.
