David Rodriguez Career and Boxer

Rodriguez started learning simple combinations at the age of 5 years old. At age 14 he had his first amateur fight against a Junior Olympic Champion. He was a bundle of nerves as well as was beat up badly in the first round; but in the second, knocked his seasoned adversary out cold. It shocked the tournament as well as garnered headlines.

Furthermore, Rodriguez had been given the taste of blood, which only served to further fuel his passion for the brutal but beautiful craft of boxing. The training was strict – a discipline that his life desperately needed. And also he who would one day become the “Pride of the 915” had begun to succeed in turning his virtually inexpressible aggression into something greater than himself.

As Rodriguez took on more fights, he quickly drew attention by pummeling his opponents as well as progressively sparring veteran fighters. After contending at the amateur level for 7 years, David joined his professional career. He beat out Manuel Alberto Pucheta by a TKO to win the WBA NABA Heavyweight Title. He defeated Owen Beck in El Paso to a sellout crowd as well as took the WBC Mexican Heavyweight Championship.

Rodriguez crushed over matched Byron Polley for the NABU Heavyweight Title. During training for the first of his 2011 fights, Rodriguez survived a brutal knife attack, the result of which was a near-death experience as well as a facial scar that runs clear from his ear to his chin. Thereafter, he also suffered an injury to his knee, sidetracking what was intended to be an explosive, career-defining year.

The now top-contender, ranked number 10 on the planet as well as perfectly poised to seize the title of Heavyweight Champion of the World, found himself at a crossroads. To fight or not to fight. It was a difficult decision – the most difficult of his career. The attack had taken its toll on him both physically and mentally. He struggled with the decision for months.

But in the end, the natural-born fighter in him won. And so, uncertain of his future and underestimating the trauma he’d sustained, he stepped back into the ring. But in the last 10 seconds of the last round of a bloody fight he was edging out on the scorecards, David was knocked out cold. It was his first loss – ever – and cause for an entire reevaluation of his life. The “Pride of the 915” now knew he had to give himself a chance to heal, and so set down his gloves for a hiatus of undetermined length.

Unable to sit idle, as well as with an ever-growing urge to assist his community, David began telling others about his story through an anti-bullying campaign that started organically but has now begun to pick up momentum. He speaks to detention facilities and school districts with a non-profit organization called “Lucid Love”

Openly sharing a story of himself being bullied and in return being a bully to others. He speaks to the rage he carried into the ring as well as the roots from which it stemmed. He travels the country delivering a powerful as well as the impactful message that is striking a nerve with countless who feel they have no voice. David has a newfound cause as well as has taken his fight from the ring to the victims of this ever-increasing issue by raising awareness of bullying in its many current forms in our culture.

He is widely considered to be the most commercially successful drag queen in the United States. Early Life and Career Beginnings: RuPaul Andre Charles, better known as just RuPaul, was born in San Diego, California, on November 17, 1960. He has three sisters. After his parents divorced in 1967, he and his siblings lived with their mother, Ernestine “Tony” Charles. When he was fifteen years old, RuPaul moved to Atlanta, Georgia, with his sister Renettea to study performing arts. Throughout the 1980s, he was a struggling filmmaker and musician, and held a job at the famous Plaza Theatre. He performed locally, at places like the Celebrity Club, or as a backup singer to Glen Meadmore. His first break was in 1989 when he was cast as an extra, dancing in the music video “Love Shack” by the B-52s. Career: In 1993, RuPaul recorded the album “Supermodel of the World”, a dance/house record that was released through the rap label Tommy Boy. The single “Supermodel (You Better Work” and its accompanying music video were an expected hit, and found success on MTV channels. It peaked at No. 45 on the Billboard Hot 100, and at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. It was followed by the singles/videos “Back to my Roots” and “A Shade Shady (Now Prance)”, which both peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. RuPaul has since released multiple albums, including “Foxy Lady” (1996), Christmas album “Ho Ho Ho” (1997), “Red Hot” (2004), “Champion” (2009), “Glamazon” (2011), “Born Naked” (2014), “Realness” (2015), second Christmas album “Slay Belles” (2015), “Butch Queen” (2016), “Remember Me: Essential, Vol. 1” (2017), “American” (2017), and “Essential, Vol. 2” (2017).
