People wrote Jeff Horn off. He was a schoolteacher with no boxing pedigree, connections, or chance until he shocked the world. In 2017, in front of 52,000 fans, he pulled off the impossible, defeating Manny Pacquiao to claim the WBO Welterweight Title.
But behind the glory was a brutal journey. 67 fights in 4 years, Olympic heartbreak, and a relentless trainer who shaped him into a champion. After reaching the top, Jeff faced an even tougher fight, life after boxing.
Would you say no to a $1M fight? He did.
