The apple doesn’t fall from the tree; for 19-year-old Bobby Gunn Jr., the apple fell off and hit him in the head. Gunn Jr. has been not only fighting since he was a wee lad, but dominating in impressive fashion.
He stems from a fighting family. His father, Bobby Gunn, is not only a former gloved boxing champion of the world, but the current unrivaled bare knuckle boxing champion of the world.
Gunn Jr. was born and bred into the fight game. He possesses a skill set that many world champions don’t have. With only 8 fights—6 by KO—he has shown poise and talent that no doubt will lead him to a world title in the near future.
“It’s truly humbling being recognized by the CPBC,” said Gunn Jr. “Boxing is such a part of my life, and I want nothing more than to continue to win, work my way up the ranks, and eventually become world champion.”
Because of his diligence and unrelenting work ethic, he has been ranked the number one contender for the Canadian Pro Boxing Council. Now any fight fan knows that is typically unheard of. Most fighters have to go to war for years to be ranked in such an impressive fashion.
“We have him ranked the number one contender because he is unbeaten, has a great record and is Canadian,” said Don Collette, President of the Canadian Pro Boxing Council. “As a fighter I think he’s a wrecking machine waiting to be unleashed. He is going to be a world champion; there’s no doubt and it’s just a matter of time. I think he first wants the Canadian Title and that should happen in 2017. Then from there we the CPBC can open more doors for him Winning the title will have him rated with the NABO top 15, and once we secure the NABO Title shot we will get him rated in the WBO world rankings.”
“It’s truly humbling being recognized by the CPBC,” said Gunn Jr. “Boxing is such a part of my life, and I want nothing more than to continue to win, work my way up the ranks, and eventually become world champion.”
19-year-old Bobby Gunn Jr., who turns 20 in a few days, displays the maturity and class of fighters who have been throwing hands for year. He isn’t cocky, arrogant or full of himself. He goes out of his way to not only speak but live the word of God, and simply fights because that is his calling and what he loves to do.
This gentleman has quite the future ahead of him, and he not only has the tools and resources to be one of the best in the game, but he utilizes them.
Remember the name Bobby Gunn Jr., because he will be making a big splash in the boxing world in the near future.
Being ranking by the CPBC isn’t enough for Gunn Jr., his eyes are set on being world champ.
