Sports Illustrated announced Thursday that it would bestow WWE star John Cena with the Muhammad Ali Legacy Award next month in recognition of his philanthropy work.
While noting Cena’s success as a 16-time WWE champion, the publication emphasized his efforts with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, where he “has granted nearly 600 wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses, more than anyone else involved with the organization,” Sports Illustrated said.
They also acknowledged him as a supporter of breast cancer awareness and early detection.
Following the announcement, Cena took to Twitter saying this was “something I never dreamed could be possible.”
“Thank you for this honor, I’ll do best to live up to its reputation,” he continued.
