While still a teenager, Freddy took no time to become a rising star in New England's amateur boxing scene. By 1978, he decided to go pro and started as a lightweight. During the early 1980s, Freddie trained under Eddie Futch, achieving an impressive record of 26 wins and 1 loss.

As the ex-boxing champion continued his journey, worries surfaced about his well-being as he started displaying early symptoms of Parkinson's disease. It wasn't entirely unexpected, considering Freddie's known history of enduring head punches seemingly unscathed. As time passed, it became clear that his aggressive "stand-up" fighting style had, unfortunately, impacted his health.

At first, Freddie didn't want to retire from boxing. He kept trying for regional championships but lost five out of his last six fights. At the age of 26, he decided to retire.

Training Career

After leaving the boxing ring, Freddie took on odd jobs but always knew that his future lay in boxing. He learned from his former trainer, Eddie Futch, and formed a successful partnership with him. Subsequently, he co-founded the Wild Card Boxing Club in Los Angeles with his brother, Pepper, attracting top-notch boxers, including the legendary Manny Pacquiao. Freddie's first world champion was Virgil Hill, a protege of Eddie Futch.

Freddie gained widespread recognition for training Oscar De La Hoya in the highly anticipated 2007 bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr. He even coached British boxers, including Gary Stretch and Amir Khan. Freddie then ventured into mixed martial arts (MMA), coaching UFC fighters like Andrei Arlovski, Dan Hardy, Tito Ortiz, Anderson Silva, and BJ Penn. He also trained Georges St-Pierre for his showdown against Josh Koscheck.
