I'm fighting to give everyday men and women the opportunity to fight back against this terrible disease. On a personal note, I'm also fighting in honor of my late coach and friend Shawn Raysor. He was the one who first inspired me to get in the ring, but more importantly he made a lasting impact on all of the young fighters he trained and encouraged. An impact many of us didn't fully appreciate until he was gone. But his legacy lives on in the values, toughness, and courage he instilled in all of his fighters, and in the way he positively impacted so many others outside of the ring.
