The Arizona Legend Rollin "THE CHILLER" Williams

ROLLIN ‘THE CHILLER’ WILLIAMS

Boxing was always a big part of my family: My brother, uncle, and others all boxed. In fact, my Uncle Jerry has been my manager from the beginning. In 1984, I became a professional boxer. I had a successful pro career, which included winning the USBA Championship. Unfortunately, like many young men who achieve success rapidly, I made mistakes and got tangled up in drugs. As a result, I wound up in prison on drug charges. I ended up learning the hard way, but I learned from my mistakes, and I have been blessed to have turned my life around. I have a beautiful wife and children, and I am excited about where I am going in life.

My Uncle Jerry, who stuck with me through it all, is still with me. In fact, with Uncle Jerry still in my corner, I am boxing professionally again (at the young age of 47 years old). We both run Top Level Boxing. Our gym is focused on physical fitness clients, amateur boxers, and pro boxers. I also love working with kids, and based on my background (both good and bad) I have a real passion for helping and mentoring them in boxing/fitness and in life. Members who work out at Top Level Boxing have been kind enough to say that I have a unique ability to help kids—especially those who have no stable role models.

Boxing has always, and will always, be an important part of my life. I feel I am carrying on a family tradition. I will continue boxing professionally as long as I can, but my dream is to enhance the fitness of my clients and help amateur and professional boxers achieve their dreams.
