    Tracy Rollins Jr.     is a graduate of Homewood-Flossmoor High School. By the age of 16, Rollins owned four technology businesses and he graduated high school two years early. Rollins would be awarded a full tuition scholarship to Roosevelt University where he studied mathematics and finance. In the summer of 2010, Rollins transferred to University of Nevada, Las Vegas to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering and a professional boxing career.

    the majority of it is in it because of the money and because they come from poor backgrounds so boxing is the only way out.
    I dont mind it of course if the kid has a dream to be a champion then I wish him the best of luck and look foreward to some great fights:p
