Several years back, I had a Facebook boxing page called Oxnard IsBoxing in tribute to my local boxing community. At that time, a Facebook friend stood out by the name of John Bray of Van Nuys, CA. In time, we got to talk one-on-one about boxing and he would share his story in the sport. It was pretty amazing! At one time he was supposed to be the face of the sport. He was a young good looking “White-Latino” from Southern California that was supposed to be the prospect to take the heavyweight division by storm first in the amateurs and then hopefully in the professional ranks thereafter. But it didn’t happen as planned. Through his own admission in this interview, life and bad decisions got in the way. During his time, he got to work with some of the best of the best fighters including the likes of Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, and Tommy Morrison just to name a few. He also trained under top trainers Joe Goossen, Lou Duva, and Angelo Dundee. Due to some injuries related to boxing he can no longer participate physically in the sport that he loves. But his love for the sport is still there and the people that remember him, love him. On Sunday June 22nd of this year, he will be inducted into the WBC’s “Legends of Boxing Museum”. Congratulations, John! Well deserved. Check out our interview with Mr. John Bray!
