About:
Born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1986, Yahu “Rock” Blackwell’s childhood was bit rough. As soon after his birth, his father left the family. However, it was his mother “Sandra Blackwell”, who remained committed towards her children and raised them on limited resources.
From a young age, Yahu showed interest in boxing and thus started practicing when he was just 7 years old. Since then he has seen many ups and downs in life. However, he is committed to prove his real worth to the world.
Inspired by legendary boxers such as “Muhammad Ali”, Yahu “Rock” Blackwell is passionate about the game. However in 2009, he had once thought of giving up on his dreams and get a regular job. Back then due to poor management Blackwell had reached life-threatening levels of dehydration and even got his right hand fractured. Who would have thought that the boxer will make such a grand re-entry? As with rigorous hard work since then, he has not only made a comeback but also leveled up his game.
In 2013, after getting a new management team, Blackwell won the WBU novice world championship. It was a clear-cut victory with a record of 15-0 within the IBL. Since then it has been a favorable time for him. As in 2014, Yahu even signed a deal with Comcast Sports Net, allowing them to broadcast all his fights to over 50 million homes nationwide. The deal gave a minor boost to his overall fortune.
Over the years, he has received positive feedback from both his fans and critics. He has now got a decent fan following, all thanks to his unique boxing style and impressive good looks.
He is also active on Instagram where he keeps his fans updated about his latest progress.
