Well his first ABA was in 1993 when he was 21.. if he fought on shows before that I never heard about it.
Yeah he made quite impression on the circuit. I would never have picked him to win Olympic Gold, but he clearly had something about him.
My Ol' man was an amateur trainer in the South East, so as a fan of the sport I got to see plenty of amateur shows, and you do not tend to forget the 6' 6" Super Heavyweights!
I think Bojado was just the youngest Mexican like Khan the youngest Brit though lol.. That other guy holds the record..
I think you are getting the youngest gold medalist and youngest boxing Olympian mixed up. Bojado was younger than Randolph, but I suspect even he is not the youngest boxer to compete at an Olympics. You have to figure at least a 16 year old has competed in the past.
Now maybe, but if we have had allegedly a nine year old fighting pro (Nipper Pat Daly), a 16 year old or maybe even a 15 year old fighting in the Olympics (in the past), does not seem that much of a push.
