Thomas Lowe
When Thomas first got into boxing, he was getting into a lot of trouble at school, so his Uncle Berry challenged him to take up boxing. He paid for it, so Thomas felt obligated to give it a valid try. He ended up being good at it!
From that point, former world champion Curtis Cokes took an interest in Thomas and took him under his wing, training with him every day. Thomas became a three-time Dallas heavyweight Golden Gloves Champion.
Now, Thomas coaches boxing students of his own at Future Champs.
