This Saturday night, at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, thirty seven year old Kendal Gill will be making his professional boxing debut. Yes -37 years old, yes - making his pro boxing debut, and yes - Kendal Gill!
Many sports fans are familiar with the name Kendal Gill, after all he has played fourteen seasons in the National Basketball Association after getting drafted in the first round of the 1990 NBA draft by the Charlotte Hornets.
After playing in only fourteen games this past season Gill was abruptly released by the Milwaukee Bucks.
"I didn’t deserve to go out this way in basketball," noted Gill, a life-long boxing fan who has used his unexpected free time to regain his focus, get hungry again, and also set some interesting personal goals.
"I’ve always wanted to do this (box professionally), even before basketball," revealed the outgoing and personable Gill, adding "the Bucks waiving me could be a blessing in disguise!" [details]
