Joe’s contribution to WBK

Joe put Chris through his first workout at BBC in March 1993 and automatically hooked him on the “sweet science”. He converted Chris from the trenches of the gridiron (football field) to a warrior of the squared circle (the ring). Joe coached and managed Chris’s brief amateur career (1993-1998)
BBC became a sanctuary for Chris during humbling setbacks; in 1993 with professional football; Canadian Football League (CFL) and in 1995 with the bankruptcy of his restaurant; Whitebrook: Your Healthy Eatery
The intense workouts and no nonsense ‘old school’ atmosphere at BBC enabled Chris to free his mind and uplift his spirit and recapture his ‘fighting spirit’

Joe and BBC helped turn Chris around during some of the darkest and most stressful periods of his life, instilling his deeply held conviction of WBK’s “Boxing For Better Living”

THANKS JOE!
