Joseph Elegele

Joseph Elegele Jr, was born to Joseph Elegele Sr., and Antoinette Warren on June 25, 1984. "Biggie Boi" as he would later be known around the neighborhood of Melbourne, FL, was the oldest son of ten children . At the age of 11 Joseph got his first pair of boxing gloves. He was then enrolled in boxing lessons at a local gym, where he met Coach Gary Gregory. In order to further his career Joseph relocated to Winter Haven, FL, under the tutelage of trainer Tony Morgan. Morgan has proven his wealth as a premier trainer and trained former WBC Welterweight champ, Andre Berto. Since relocating to Winter Haven, Joseph has blossomed into one of the top prospects in the sports. Joseph has been described by spectators and boxing analysts alike as a very polished and composed fighter, showing great command of the ring and a methodical work effort in dissecting his opponents. Joseph fights with striking precision and cat like reflects, all while being a very stingy target, not giving opponents many opportunities to strike. He is a rising star in his division and feels like that his humility, consistency and focus will guide him to the top. Joseph says that the streets taught him how to survive and revealed to him the harsh realities of life. Joseph says the difference between me and other boxers is that, "I was born to fight, they learn to fight" From the looks of his early to young adult life, one can only wonder if he knew this all along. Elegele was a terror in the amateurs amassing a record of 69-8. Guided by his trainer Tony Morgan, the southpaw has impressed fight fans all over the country with his devastating power and sensational boxing skills.
