€œ The word on the street about Philly fighters was that they beat each other so hard and so often in their own city – in the gyms and in official matches – that they never made it onto the national stageâ€� (Oppenheim, 2014: 5). Oppenheim (2014) describes the ruthless scene that is boxing in Philadelphia: Philly fighters are generally known for their exceptional viciousness and toughness. It’s a city that’s well known for producing some of professional boxing’s greatest champions, such as Smonkin’ Joe Fraizer and Bernard Hopkins. Philadelphia is a city, as described by Gabe Oppenheim in his book ” Boxing in Philadelphia – Tales of struggle and survival” (2014), with a rich history of boxing. He recently retired from professional boxing last year after losing his last fight against boxer Cory Cummings. Mack is one of many great fighters hailing from Philadelphia. It was recently revealed that former light heavyweight contender Yusaf ”Mack Attack” Mack, has ’acted’ and appeared in a gay porn video.
