Amateur Career
- As an amateur boxer, Caleb “Golden” Truax had a record of 21-8. In 2006 he held the Upper Midwest Golden Gloves and USA Boxing State Championships. He was still having fun attending the University of Minnesota, and didn’t really have the desire to go pro. He was hitting his stride and set his sights on the 2008 Beijing Olympics. But that dream was not meant to be. When the story came out about Truax competing in a tough guy competition before his amateur career began, he was quickly ruled ineligible for the Olympics. He was left with two choices: quit boxing or go pro. [1]
