We hit different!
Ariel "Golden Hulk" Perez is a professional light heavyweight boxer ranked #16 in the country with an undefeated record of 8-0 (4 KOs).
Golden Hulk excelled as a football player when he was a teen, a star running back on his way to the NFL. As a result of choices that took him down the wrong path, he was expelled from school, ending his NFL dreams.
At 29, he knew something was missing. He was overweight, working construction, and hustling to make ends meet. That's when he found boxing, and he knew he found his calling! This sport didn't just get him back in shape; it gave him purpose and lit a fire inside him. This was the second chance he didn't know he needed.
Today, he's chasing greatness inside the ring while also giving back to his community. Alongside his childhood friend, former NFL player James Wilder Jr., they opened Tampa Bay Hulk Camp x Wilder Sports Academy.
At their gym, they offer boxing training, fitness programs, competitive boxing coaching, weightlifting, speed & agility training, and professional-level coaching that builds champions.
Golden Hulk's journey has been far from easy, but every setback built the fighter he is today. He's not just fighting for himself -- he's fighting for everyone who has ever been knocked down and needed a way to rise back up.
The Golden Hulk has arrived, and this is just the beginning!
Fun Fact: James and Golden Hulk go way back! They were Northside Dolphins little league teammates right here in Tampa.
