Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach is currently 58 years young and still actively training fighters despite having Parkinson’s Disease which some predicted would have ended his active training career by now a number of years back.
Not the case however.

A former fighter himself and never one to feel sorry for himself, Freddie Roach continues to not only inspire the fighters he trains every day but also the wider boxing world at large.

Recently Freddie Roach was in the corner once again of his most famed and successful fighting pupil Manny Pacquiao.
‘Pacman’ at the age of 40 recorded a shut out unanimous points win over 29 year old Adrien Broner last month at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
