Dewey Bozella is 1-0 in his professional boxing career. The 52-year-old defeated Larry Hopkins, a 30-year-old who has never won a professional fight in his five attempts. Bozella won the four-round fight in unanimous decision, which was promoted by Golden Boy promotions. The Associated Press reported that Hopkins lost multiple points for spitting our his mouthpiece six times in the final round; a sign of exhaustion. Bozella's condition, however, remained up to par.
Prior to his fight, Bozella received a call from President Barack Obama, who expressed his support for the boxer and his inspirational story. If you're interested in listening to the phone conversation, click here.
Congratulations to Dewey Bozella, whose fairytale story, post prison, continues.
