Boris Powell (born December 19, 1964) is a former professional American boxer. His nickname is Bo ‘The Champ’ Powell.[1]
Professional boxing career
Powell turned pro in 1991 and won his first 23 fights, before losing to John Ruiz in 1995. He retired in 2001 after a five fight win streak.
Personal life
In October 2020, Powell was diagnosed with the neurological disease ALS.[2] Boris knows many other famous athletes, such as Mike Tyson, George Foreman, and Anthony Bonner. A local store owner at the St. Vincent de Paul thrift store assisted Powell's family with obtaining a motorized wheelchair.[3] This allows Powell to stay mobile while he combats his condition.
In April 2021, a the 2021 Jim Schoemehl run for ALS selected Powell as the annual runs beneficiary.[1]
