Born on March 5, 1960, in Dedham, Massachusetts, Freddie Roach began boxing at a young age. Trained initially by his father and later under various instructors, he quickly gained recognition as a standout amateur. In his teens, he developed a reputation as a highly promising AAU (Amateur Athletic Union) prospect, demonstrating exceptional skill and dedication inside the ring.
Freddie Roach turned professional at the age of 18 and competed as a lightweight. Over the course of his professional career, he fought in 53 bouts, securing 40 wins—including 15 by knockout—and suffering 13 losses. Known for his resilience and technical style, Roach earned respect across the boxing community, even though he never reached world championship status.
Roach was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in his mid-20s but continued to compete in six more professional fights after his diagnosis. He retired from active boxing at the age of 26. While the disease has affected his speech and movement over time, his continued presence in the boxing world as a trainer is widely regarded as both inspiring and remarkable.
