Shortly after, Le’s family was sponsored to go to Fairfax and they settled in Fairfax Va Le had a rough childhood in America — he didn’t know English at the time and was constantly bullied and called racial slurs by his peers
“By the time I was 13 years old, I just remember always being picked on, always being made fun of, and the name ‘Nip,’ ‘Gook,’ ‘Chink,’ was basically an everyday thing,” After frequently coming home with injuries from getting beaten up by bullies, Le’s mom got fed up and enrolled him in Tae Kwon Do classes so he could learn to defend himself. This allowed him to start fighting back at the bullies. Being new to martial arts, he wasn’t successful at first in defending himself and ended up getting beat up still. “[I was] getting beat up every other time, but at least I got a punch in. Things started getting better when I started hitting harder and I started learning how to punch properly. The punch landed and the kids were affected and the bullying stopped.”

Abdiel Velazquez
We've got a real exciting fighter here making his transition to the pro boxing ranks - Abdiel Velazquez. This 31-year-old dynamo hails from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico but now calls Florida home.
Abdiel first caught the combat sports bug back in high school when he started dabbling in boxing and wrestling. But it wasn't until one of his buddies showed him some UFC fights that he really fell head over heels for the world of MMA. For the past 12 years, Abdiel has been tearing it up in both the amateur and pro MMA circuits, including multiple appearances on UFC Fight Pass.
But this guy isn't just an MMA specialist - he's also a bare knuckle bruiser, having competed in the hard-hitting BKFC organization on pay-per-view. And now, he's set his sights on the pro boxing world, recently making his debut in the squared circle.
What makes Abdiel so special is his pure heart and passion for this game. The guy is a warrior through and through. And get this - he's also passing that warrior spirit down to the next generation, with one of his young sons already following in his footsteps and lacing up the boxing gloves.
Abdiel's resume is already stacked, with multiple amateur titles under his belt, including 2-time WCFL champion, FCF champion, and ABC champion all at 125 pounds. The sky's the limit for this Puerto Rican powerhouse as he transitions to the pro boxing ranks. I'm excited to see what the future holds for Abdiel Velazquez. And I'm proud to say that he's sponsored by Tôi Workout, a company that shares Abdiel's commitment to peak performance and living life to the fullest. Keep an eye on this guy, I have a feeling we ain't seen nothing yet.
