I retired with a professional record of 28 wins-7 losses with 23 KO'S. I was called into the ministry at the early age of 14. I didn't accept my call into the ministry until much later. Now I am fighting the devil every day in a different arena. I ended up in the hospital after being drugged during a boxing match in Beighng China. It was in a hospital that's where I met my wife who happens to be a Registered Nurse.
She turned out to be my best friend. She took care of me while I was in the hospital. One year later we married and we are still married to this day.
