From high school wrestling to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team and a decade-long professional career, O\u2019Connor lived in a world where extreme weight-cutting\u2014starvation, dehydration, purging and physical collapse\u2014was common practice. What began as discipline slowly became self-destruction, culminating in a public failure to make weight for a world title fight and a private medical emergency that nearly cost him his life. He turned professional in 2008 and competed at the highest levels of the sport for more than a decade. He compiled a professional record of thirty-one wins. Over the course of his career, he fought on major televised platforms, including ESPN, Showtime, CBS Sports, and Fox Sports 1, and competed in prominent venues across the United States.
