Weâve all had to roll with some punches this year, so itâs only fitting that 2020 marks the 25th anniversary of Paul âThe Ultimateâ Vaden becoming the only San Diegan to ever win a professional boxing title.
Growing up, Vaden honed his skills in Southeast San Diegoâs Jackie Robinson YMCA, in a boxing ring donated by legendary pugilist Archie Moore. He couldâve easily made the 1992 Olympics, but eschewed them to go pro. When he scored a technical knockout against heavily favored Vincent Pettway in the 12th round of a 1995 title fight, he won the International Boxing Federationâs light middleweight championship.
