Retired boxers future

Post by Cent0089 »

Before few months there was article about former HW prospect Vyacheslav Glazkov who injured his knee which was career ending injury. This makes me wonder, what are fate of some retired boxers, who did not make millions of dollars? Lets say :

Seth Mitchell
John Duddy
Friday Ahunaya
Ricardo Torres
Shawn Estrada

Or many others who were decently succesful, but not enough to make millions. Maybe this is off topic but it is somewhat interesting, isnt it ?

I agree! Good topic

I'm fascinated by Jorge Luis Gonzalez.

Duddy said he lost the desire to make the sacrifices of training. He became an actor and portrayed Ken Buchanan in the Roberto Duran movie Hands of Stone.

Estrada I believe is a strength and condioning guy in L.A.

I think Mitchell works for the C.I.A or something like that.

Calvin Brock is blind in one eye so couldn't fight on but has his own company.

Ironic Estrada would take that career path, didn't he miss weight by double digits?
