Professional boxing has long been a stage for extraordinary comebacks, and Chris “The Hybrid” Young is writing his own chapter in that illustrious book. With a pro lightweight record of 2-0, including one victory by knockout, Young’s journey is already captivating the attention of fight fans and analysts alike. What makes his story even more compelling is the path he took to get here: an almost five-fight losing streak that tested his resolve and love for the sweet science. In amateur boxing Chris went 70-12. He started training at the age of 9 with his father and then Roy Jones Jr at 14.
Now, under the mentorship of the legendary Roy Jones Jr., Young has not only turned his career around but is emerging as one of the most exciting prospects in boxing. The nickname “The Hybrid”—given to him by RJJ himself—perfectly encapsulates his unique fighting style. According to Jones, Young combines the ferocity and aggression of Mike Tyson with the ring IQ and technical mastery of Roy Jones Jr.
"I always tell people he's a Hybrid, between myself and Mike Tyson, that's why I call him the Hybrid, he's something new, Floyd Mayweather has Curmel, I have Chris". - Roy Jones Jr
Rising from the Ashes: The Turning Point

The Hybrid in Action
Young’s two professional victories demonstrate the seamless blend of styles that earned him his moniker.

In his most recent fight, Young displayed the calculated precision and defensive prowess of Roy Jones Jr., controlling the pace and outsmarting his opponent over the rounds.
The Road Ahead
Young’s potential seems limitless under Jones’ mentorship. With his natural athleticism, improved technique, and unrelenting drive, the sky truly is the limit.

Boxing is a sport where consistency is king, and Young is determined to show the world that he’s here to stay.
