LAS VEGAS — They say, God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. That would put welterweight knockout artist, Avious Griffin(13-0-0, 12 KOs ) on the frontlines. Having endured several tragedies in his life, including watching the man who got him involved in boxing, his father passed away in the backseat while trying to rush him to the hospital was only the beginning of misfortunes for Griffin, 29. As his pro boxing career was just starting to bud, he was wrongfully convicted of a murder, which led to him being incarcerated for 11 months. Rightfully, adopting the moniker “Tha Underdog,” Griffin has used those past traumas to become one of boxing’s greatest stories. Currently 13-0 with 12 knockouts, Griffin returns to the ring on November 4 in Costa Rica on DAZN on a card promoted by Golden Boy Promotions.
“Tha Underdog” shares his story of redemption and success with Zenger News.
