Chris Byrd

It would be hard to find a fighter whose family was more involved with boxing than the Byrd family. His father was the head Olympian coach, his mother was also involved, his brothers, and his sister was three-time world champion, Tracy Byrd. Even his dog was a boxer. Chris was a silver medalist on the 1992 USA Olympic boxing team. He competed as a middleweight division at the time. In 2000, he was the first to defeat the tough Vitali Klitschko winning the WBO Heavyweight title, but lost it six months later to his brother Wladimir. Byrd had a great career in boxing with many notable wins over fighters like Evander Holyfield, David Tua, Jameel McCline, Fres Oquendo, and Maurice Harris. I'm glad Chris was able to come on to talk about his career. Check it out!
