Jorge Linares has moved across the globe to hone his professional career and he has been pretty successful in the ride. Almost two decades since his debut, he has been a world champion multiple times and has beaten several elites on his rise to the top.

The 35-year-old Venezuelan boxer spent a brief period of his life in Japan, before becoming a household name in the boxing universe. Hence, Linares has fan bases across several countries.

Despite reaching the top and tasting success, the ex-world titlist has always remained humble, and that’s what has seen him become a people’s champion. While fans continue to dig deep for information about his personal life, Linares does not make their job easy.

Per starsgab.com, the elite 135-pounder was born on August 22, 1985, in Venezuela. However, the mixed-race Linares moved down to Japan at an early age to shape up his boxing career.

That’s when he saw his dream of becoming a professional boxer come true.

The Christian boxer never had to turn back from that stage. He saw sheer success in his career, remaining undefeated for seven straight years. So his popularity took out the boundaries of nationality, religion, and ethnicity as he became a celebrated boxer across the world.
