I'm a former boxer and world top ten contender, since being retired over fifteen years I'm hoping that boxing will continue to improve in terms of a retirement system for boxers, long term health and life insurance benefits as well as long term accident insurance for boxer who sustain injuries while boxing. Boxers have been exploited for over a hundred years and boxing is one of the oldest sports in America, yet today many great boxers are broke and busted after earning millions.
This should not be the case, when will boxing get its rightful place in history and boxers don’t end up on skid roll, should I have to name a few? Maybe better management and promoters’ won’t be so greedy and selfish and boxers can have something to fall back on when they retire or become injured.
Now that I am a successful businessman and college graduate I want to give back and help the 100 year old sport revive itself from a slippery slope of no hope.
