Jeffries had an unbeaten record of 9-0 as a professional boxer, with seven of those wins coming by way of knockout. He was known for his powerful left hook and excellent footwork in the ring. However, Jefferies had to retire early from the sport due to a hand injury that prevented him from continuing his boxing career. His injuries might have stopped him from boxing, but the sport still lives in his heart. He recently even dissected Mike Tyson’s ‘Peek-a-boo’ fighting technique. After retiring from boxing, Jefferies became a boxing coach and started his own gym in Los Angeles. He has also been involved in various philanthropic activities, including raising funds for Parkinson’s disease research.
