Cornelius Boza Edwards

Cornelius Boza-Edwards has a biography that reads like a screenplay. Born in Kampala as Cornelius Bbosa, he crossed continents to England, reinvented himself, and climbed all the way to the WBC super-featherweight world title. I am moved by fighters who carry that kind of immigrant odyssey in their fists, and who then choose to give it back. Now training boxers in the United States, he is passing on hard-won knowledge instead of guarding it. To me that second act is the truest measure of a champion. His story spans three continents and deserves to be told far more widely than it is.
