Boxing Career

Emile Griffith was born in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands on February 3, 1938. He made his professional debut at the age of 20 years on June 2, 1958 against Joe Parham. Griffith defeated Parham via 4 round points decision, making a successful beginning of his pro career.

Griffith became a world champion at the age of 23 after 24 professional fights. He challenged Benny Paret for the The Ring welterweight title and stopped the champion in the 13th of the 15-round fight, winning his first world title.
