Occupation: Professional Boxer signed with Roc Nation Sports
You wouldn’t expect that the 5’ 9” tatted guy at the mall, in the Ralph Lauren tee, packs a punch in the ring as a featherweight professional boxer. Signed to Roc Nation Sports, a company owned by style-setter Jay-Z, Tyler McCreary has the great fashion sense to fit right in. A Toledo native, who began boxing in 2003 (at the age of 10) McCreary evolved from baggy jeans to slim-fit jeans during his boxing career.
What is a typical outfit when you head out for the day? I like to wear my jeans; mainly slim fit jeans, in black. My sneakers are my passion and I just have to throw on a baseball cap.
I notice that you have on a pair of jeans with tattered spots that have snake-skin patterns underneath. Where did you find those? My big brother from another mother, celebrity producer Mally The Martian, picked them up at Barney’s New York and mailed them to me as a gift.
So you mentioned that you love your sneaker collection. What kind of sneakers do you own? I have a lot of Air Max, Jordans and Air Force Ones. Whatever I see that I think looks really good, I buy it and find a matching outfit to go with it later.
If money weren’t an option, what would your ultimate outfit be? If I could get anything, it would be a nice pair of Balmain jeans, a really fly bomber jacket and some Maison Margiela shoes.
You started your own “The Golden Child” t-shirt line after your ring name, will those be available for sale soon? Yes most definitely! I ran out of tees at my last Toledo match in December, but I will have some more for my fight this month.
See Tyler enter the ring at 8pm on Saturday, May 21 at The Lucas County Rec Center.
Tickets are $25 and available through the Rec Center.
