Has there ever been an openly gay boxer?

[TitoFan]

i think this thread shows exactly why any closet boxers would be apprehensive about coming out.

Poor Yusaf Mack had to pretend he was drugged when it was discovered he was gay.

Orlando Cruz is still the only openly gay boxer.

Is Orlando still going at it? Not gay sex, but boxing. Or I guess both

Still gay, I would assume. And yeah... still boxing too. I went to see his 2nd to last fight against Lamont Roach back in April..... and just this month he was kayoed by countryman Jayson Velez. Not sure how long before he calls it a day (in boxing, I mean).

Bit of an odd question but hear me out. Im sure there must have been some secretly gay boxers but has there been any openly gay?

I was recently reading a book called 'Looking for a fight' by David Matthews (excellent book I highly recommend it). Its a first person account that follows David Matthews himself (he is a journalist by trade) and he decides to become a professional boxer to find out from the inside about the business, with no prior boxing/sporting experience at the age of 31. He trains at the gym where Clinton Woods trains and Woods was saying that if there were a gay boxer he'd have a massive huge following and loads of fans due to the gay community. Got me wondering, has there ever been a gay boxer?

Irish fighter Gerald Fitzpatrick was openly gay

Remember what happened to Rahman when he tried to label Lennox as gay.

Asking about openly gay boxers is relevant quite how, one wonders.

What about Patrick Fitzgerald?

Yusuf Mack was a pretty funny case. I guess he'd already stopped boxing and needed the money, but how could you honestly be in a gay porn and expect to keep that under wraps 😁 having 10 kids without ever being married and secretly gay is also quite something....

Did he take a knee, inside and out of the ring?

Always wondered about Demarcus Corley with the theatrics and Victoria secret bragging . I think he was just eccentric. Believe Christy Martin developed a thing for the ladies. Not sure how much her pecker head husband stabbing and shooting her had to do with it if anything.
