SUGAR RAY LEONARD • Featured Luncheon Speaker
SUGAR RAY LEONARD is one of the legendary sports icons of the 20th century whose very name epitomizes boxing and
conjures the image of a champion. In 1977, at the age of twenty, Leonard won his first professional fight, setting the stage for a
collection of the most memorable fights in history. During his twenty year professional career, Leonard was the first boxer to win
world titles in five different weight classes, a record that stands to this day. Leonard’s sincere, charismatic personality coupled
with his ring experience led to a successful career as a television broadcaster, has fostered endorsement relationships with many
companies and makes him among the most sought after motivational/inspirational speakers in the world today. Sugar Ray is
also the author of an autobiography entitled The Big Fight: My Life In and Out of the Ring (June, 2011) in which he has publicly
revealed sexual abuse he suffered as a 15 year-old Olympic boxing hopeful.
