Expert Profile: Jackson Rose

Expertise:  I can answer any questions related to boxing and training. I can help anyone prepare for professional or amateur bouts. My trainer/boss of 24 years is in the Golden Gloves Hall of Fame and trained the heavyweight champion of the world in 1979. Holyfield, Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Taylor, Billy Bridges, Frankie Randall just to name a few of the boxers who have passed thru the Southerns and/or trained at our gym in Knoxville. I am a certified trainer and licensed second.

Experience in the area
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. The facility I work at holds the Southern Golden Gloves championships. My friend, boss and coach is the former director of the National Golden Gloves and present director of the Southern Golden Gloves. He trained the heavyweight champion of the world Big John Tate in the late 70's. I am also one of the trainers and cornermen for a promising professional heavyweight.

Organizations
I am a certified USA Boxing Coach. I am also a licensed Boxing Second.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I am on the team that trains heavyweight contender Alonzo Butler and would like to see him win a world championship.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Boxing is very technical. I also believe it requires the strongest combination of mental and physical abilities of any sport.
What do you like about this subject?  It has been my life for 23 years. I love the technical aspects of the sport and the one on one competition. But the hard work and determination that it takes to be a competitive boxer is what drives me.
