This talented boxer has gained widespread recognition for his impressive performances in the featherweight division. Making his professional debut in February 2017, he brought considerable experience and success into the pro ranks, including a silver medal for Team USA at the 2016 Summer Olympics as a bantamweight. Prior to that, he had already demonstrated his skill on the global stage by capturing a gold medal at the 2014 Youth Olympic Games, representing the United States as a flyweight.
His journey in boxing began at a very young age—just 5 years old—when he first stepped into the ring. His early training was guided by none other than his grandfather, Wali, who played a pivotal role in shaping his foundation in the sport. Over the years, he developed into a formidable athlete, eventually earning a spot among the top contenders in his weight class.
Outside of the ring, he has also been making headlines for his personal life. He started a relationship with rapper Young Lyric, and in October 2021, the couple shared the exciting news that they were expecting their first child together—a daughter. That joyous moment came to pass in December 2021 with the birth of their daughter, Lei. Their bond continued to grow stronger, and by May 2022, they proudly announced their engagement, marking a new chapter in their lives as a family.
He claimed a gold medal in the flyweight division at the 2014 AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships, marking a major milestone early in his career. Not long after that achievement, he stepped into the ring for just his second professional bout—and did so on one of the most iconic stages in boxing: Madison Square Garden, in May 2017. He really made the most of the opportunity, showing great promise and determination. He continued building momentum from that moment, proving time and again that he belonged among the sport’s rising stars. He demonstrated skill, resilience, and an unwavering focus that set him apart. He was clearly on a path to something big.
