Chris Byrd, 1992 Olympic Silver Medalist and Two Time Heavyweight Champion, began competing in the ring at age 10, and compiled an impressive 275 wins in the amateur ranks. He was a three-time U.S. amateur champion (1989, 1991, and 1992) and was on the 1991 U.S. National Boxing Team that became the first (and only) U.S. team to score a tie against the heralded Cuban team. Byrd won the silver medal in the 1992 Barcelona summer Olympics as a middleweight. Chris makes no apologies about his faith in Christ and is a Christian first. Everything he does is filtered through his relationship with Jesus Christ.
