2 x World Champ William Joppy shares his story in this honest chat about what it takes to be the best, overcoming difficulties and the need to surround yourself with the right people.\xa0
William started boxing at the age of 20, VERY late by most standards, and in just 18 months was competing for a spot on the US Olympic Team. William was born to fight and after turning pro he eventually became a 2 X world Middleweight Champ beating greats like Roberto Duran and Julio Cesar Green along the way. William retired with a career recorded of 40 wins, 7 losses with 2 draws and is now a coach in Rockville Maryland.\xa0
William also has his own non-profit called Breakfast with Boxers where he provides AND serves breakfast to local homeless residents in his home town (Montgomery Co. Maryland). It should also be noted that William is my good friend. We see each other every day in the gym and it 's an honor to call him friend.\xa0
