	'''Edwin "Dinamita" Valero''' had a tough upbringing on the streets on Venezuela. His father left him when he was 7 years old, so to help his family he started working selling fruit on the fruit stands. He would later get a job working in a boxing gym and the rest is history. He started to box aged 12 compiling a reported amateur record of 86-6 with 45 knockouts. Some reports list 57 knockouts, but Valero confirmed his record after his second professional fight, saying, "Soy estilista y tambien pego duro. En amateur gane 86 peleas y propino 45 nocauts." It has been said that in his youth, Valero was a member of a gang and engaged in street fights and would drive by and rob people whilst driving a moped or motorbike. It has also been said that he started taking heavy drugs whilst in the gang. Boxing would take him away from the street life. He would become the Venezuelan national amateur champion three years running, as well as the 2000 Central American & Caribbean Featherweight Champion, beating Mexican Olympian [[Francisco Bojado]] in the final.
