My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Any and All Boxers, Managers, Trainers, Officials, Reporters or anybody else associated with the fight game. I had to restrict my friend requests to those who can provide my last name. It's not that hard since it's right in my title. Just a way to keep the spammers from requesting me!
