If you are a Creed movie fan, you may remember watching “King” Gabe Rosado as Leo “The Lion” Sporino in the 2015 boxing film. After Rosado’s knockout acting debut, he’s been in the ring taking on tough fights and knocking out opponents.
In 2021, boxing enthusiasts witnessed the stunning knockout punch Rosado delivered to Silver Medal Olympian “Bek the Bully” Bektemir Melikuziev. That KO earned Rosado the WBA Continental Americas and WBO International super middleweight titles.
