World Champion Boxer - JuniorJones

A two-time New York City Golden Gloves Champion by the time he was 18-years old, this man is as "New York" as Madison Square Garden. Immediately entering the professional ranks, he went on a 31 and 0 run, reigning as the Bantamweight Champion of the World. But in 1994, when two unexpected losses threatened to derail this otherwise meteoric career, this stoic young man shrugged off the doubters and re-dedicated himself to the sport - going on a new run of nine straight wins, including a victory over future Hall of Famer Orlando Canizales. And in short order, he found himself in another title fight - against the man who many considered the best in the business and SOME to be the UNBEATABLE. And stepping into the ring the night of Nov 22, 1996 against 43 and 0 champion Marco Antonio Barrera, this courageous young man was neither intimidated nor in doubt. He knew who he was. He knew what it had taken to get there. And he carried the unbridled spirit of the streets of #Brooklyn, #NewYork in his heart and in his fists. And he proceeded to hand the heralded Marco Antonio Barrera the very first loss of his Hall of Fame career. Come meet a man whose ferocity in the ring is rivaled only by his exemplary character beyond it. One of the greatest ring warriors we've ever known -- and one of the finest gentlemen you'll ever meet.
