Tony Luis Hangs up his Gloves.
On Friday, August 12th, at a 4 pm press conference in front of the
Cornwall Civic Complex, Tony Luis announced that he was retiring as a fighter.
He addressed a crowd of family, friends, supporters and media for about an
hour before fielding questions from all. He explained how he first got interested
in boxing after he found old video tapes of his father Jorge's amateur fights.
He then summarized his own amateur and professional career with several interesting
and entertaining stories sprinkled throughout. He spoke about his mother Maria's
influence on him and how she placed an emphasis on getting an education.
