SGT Adrian Tillman

Men's Boxing, 91kg

Adrian started boxing when he was 12 years old to lose weight and learn how to defend himself at school. He came to love the sport because, as he puts it, “At the end of the day, it’s all up to me.” He joined the Army only weeks after high school, and kept improving through workouts at a gym near his first duty station, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. The years since he began have brought medal upon medal – and the nutrition, training, and interactions with coaches and teammates are preparing him for his greatest season yet.
