Lethal Larry Fryers is a significant reason why I will never give up on boxing. His story is much greater than his record, 11-1, KO, although his record is more than respectable. Larry is the consummate professional who respects the sport and all those around him. His hard hat approach comes as natural as a Sonny Jurgensen spiral, and so far, that has paid fantastic dividends for him. Fryers was born in Ireland and now resides in New York.

Fryers has always been matched tough, and he has never been one to shy away from a challenge. If you ever speak with Larry, you will know that the best fighting the best is always on his mind. Indeed, that is a noble motto, but not always the most advisable. This is why most people advised Larry not to fight Charles “Mr. Hollywood” Natal back in December of 2017. But Larry believed in himself, and fought the highly touted Natal, defeating him in a flawless six-round decision. Such a stellar performance should have put Larry on the map immediately, however, in this sport we call the sweet science, often the people around you could ruin even the most gifted of pugilists.
