Official Eddie Alvarez Profile

Growing up in Kensington section of Philadelphia fighting wasn't something exactly out of the ordinary; I mean come on they filmed the movie Rocky. As a kid I always enjoyed fighting, I can still remember taking boxing gloves down the street and fighting the older kids. The only break in the fight was when a car came down the block. While my only knowledge of fighting coming from my dad, spending endless nights teach me to throw a proper more powerful punch, I did pretty damn good thanks dad. I boxed for a year or two in grade school, everyone did in Kensington, it was mandatory. I also played every other sport you can think of, football, basketball, track, and then in high school I found my new love, which was wrestling. I wrestled for North Catholic and I believe that is where I picked up most of the work ethic I have today. Thanks Jim Canc and Billy. During high school wrestling I learned that there is not a God damn thing on this earth you cannot achieve if you want it bad enough and are willing to put in the effort.

I placed at nationals twice my junior and senior year, which made me an all American, but never went to college because it is overrated, LOL, nah I guess it wasn't for me. After high school into lifting weights and since I was not competing no more I found my own little way of competition. The fight competitions I went to were unlike anything you've probably heard of before. Let me explain a little. The fights were held all over Wildwood, Port Richmond, Fishtown, Northeast, Olde City, basically all over. It was usually at a bar and there was no time.

Fights were held spontaneously whenever some wise ass got the balls to start something up. It was usually teams of two on three, three on two, fifteen on fifteen, or whatever. But my friends and I fought damn near every weekend for a year or two. Since my life revolved around fighting already and losing was never an option for me I found it a calling to fight professionally. So here I am now 7-0 all wins by way of knockout, or TKO. I love to fight and I enjoy everything about it and I work my ass off everyday to improve as a professional fighter and be the best I can be. Thank my family, Jamie, Eddie, Mom and Dad, my Brother and Sisters, Trainers, and you my friends, and loyal fight fans for all your support. Without you I am just another fighter chasing a dream, but with you this dream will come true.
