Congrats Tom, World Boxing Champion!

For Impact Ideas | | Nick Fellers

Frequent readers will know that Tom has been the boxing coach at Notre Dame for over 35 years. This past weekend he traveled to Kansas City to compete in the Ringside Masters World Championships… and WON!

Tom’s been prepping and training for months… we’re all really proud of you Old Guy!

Going into the fights I teased him about his journey to the AARP tourney. As it turns out, the fights were pretty serious. Contestants weren’t shabby. They included life-long boxers and a number of boxing coaches like Tom.

The fights consisted of three one-minute rounds. Tom advanced to the finals after scoring a TKO early in the second round on Saturday night. He won the title fight in a unanimous decision.

We’ve setup a special email account thechamp@forimpact.org. Pass along your congrats!

Congrats OG!

Nick and the team.
