25 years ago today, April 19th, 1996, Fitz "The Whip " Vanderpool made history, bringing the first ever professional boxing championship belt back to Kitchener/...Waterloo! Having moved to KW with family in 1972 from humble beginnings in Trinidad & Tobago, who would have thought it possible! Growing up midst 5 brothers all versed in the sweet science, things were always competitive. Almost unheard of among professional boxers, Fitz was self-managed, self-financed, and self-promoted. Paired with coach and confidant Joe Hajnal Sr., R.I.P, the two had hopes of one day winning a championship belt! Upon getting tko'd by former World Champion Charles "The Natural " Murray in 1995, Fitz finally received the call he was waiting for... chance to fight for the Canadian Professional Boxing Federation Championship! In order to qualify, Fitz "The Whip" would have to move up a weight class and fight Tony "Bad Boy" Badea, who had 13 wins - 0 losses - and 10 ko's in his hometown of Edmonton Alberta. The fight was rather competitive util Fitz unleashed the "WHIP" in 6th round to stop Badea cold, becoming the new CPBF Welterweight champion! It was an amazing day and Fitz proudly brought his championship belt back to Kitchener/Waterloo to share with the community! Telling his story using the WHIP acronym: "With Hope It's Possible" Fitzroy remains a living legend, inspiring souls young and old to believe in miracles and chase their dreams! #inspiringhope Wishing you were here in person to celebrate my big 25th anniversary pop's. Rest In Paradise
