Amazing Arizonans: Ramblin’ Ralph talks calling some of the biggest boxing fights in the world

There’s nothing better than watching someone live their dream. That’s exactly what you’ll hear in this episode of Amazing Arizonans, where we spotlight incredible stories from right here in the Grand Canyon State.

This episode checks both boxes. I talk with Ralph Velez Jr., who is known internationally as Ramblin’ Ralph.

As a world-famous boxing ring announcer, he has worked some of the biggest fights in the world on some of the biggest platforms.

He is a humble and gracious man who gives back generously in his community.

His positive energy is contagious, and this conversation brings it front and center.
