About Jamal Harris:

Born in Pensacola, Florida in 1992, Harris started boxing from a young age. Dealing with the early death of his mother Trenessa Jordan and being placed in a boys youth camp, Harris had all the odds against him. Later, Jamal began to live and eventually train with adoptive father Lemuel Jones, (Middleweight Anthony Mundine, Featherweight Derrick “Smoke” Gainer) who was an integral part of the early Roy Jones Jr training team. After 9 years of training and dominating amateur competitions across the United States Jamal now cites self-discipline as one of his best traits. Harris had an exceptional amateur career 40-2, winning his first and last fights; competing at the Junior Olympics and later going on to compete at the 2011 Olympic Trials in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Amongst his gym mates has been nicknamed The Nightmare, “When I hit you clean, you will remember it, I will give my opponents nightmares, they will remember Me… or at least what they saw before getting hit and up off the canvas.” Considering the fact of numerous declined fights and the quick destruction of lesser skilled fighter’s, the name is only fitting.

Harris continually states, “You can’t get there with slacking. You have to do what it takes, and then more. I take my training seriously and this is all I know since age 12.” On one occasion, “Roy Sr told me I was going to be a champion if I continue to train. I’m driven to win. I want to exceed all expectations my fans, family, and I have for myself in and outside of the ring. My goal is to be mentioned not only among other boxing greats but above all men to step into the ring.”
