Orlando Cruz was a former Olympian and ranked fourth in the featherweight category in the World Boxing Federation. He is now the first openly gay man in the professional boxing world. Emile Griffith came out as bi-sexual in 2005 but his career had been over since 1977. Go ahead, call this guy names....I dare you.
I’ve been fighting for more than 24 years and as I continue my ascendant career, I want to be true to myself. I want to try to be the best role model I can be for kids who might look into boxing as a sport and a professional career. I have and will always be a proud Puerto Rican. I have always been and always will be a proud gay man.
