Ian Green - Boxer - Highlights/Interviews
July 21, 2018
Boxer Ian Green persevered through personal tragedy to build an undefeated professional record while pursuing his dream of becoming a world champion.
Ian Green Jr. trained relentlessly at a local gym in Orange, New Jersey, channeling personal hardship into boxing excellence. Growing up without his father, who was incarcerated and later deported before passing away, Green found purpose and direction through the guidance of his uncle and the discipline of the sport.
At 21 years old with a perfect 5-0 professional record, Green caught the attention of promoter Joe Crann, who saw middleweight world championship potential in the young fighter. Beyond boxing, Green balanced his athletic pursuits with community college classes and community service work.
