“Going to the boxing gym and being around civilized people.” “There were lots of drug dealers,” said Kirkland.
Kirkland got by on food stamps, once lived in an abandoned house and “was always fighting.” James Kirkland grew up fatherless in impoverished East Austin, Texas. The faces around me may change, but I’ll never forget where I came from and the people that helped make me the strong man that I am!
