ERIK MORALES BIO

A true boxing legend, Erik Morales serves as the chief boxing analyst for FOX Deportes. He was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame (IBHOF) in 2018.

In 2011, "El Terrible" became the first Mexican-born fighter to win world titles in four separate weight classes during his career.

He won his first title in 1996 when he knocked out IBHOF member Daniel Zaragoza to become the WBC Super Bantamweight champion. He went on to defeat numerous world champions such as Junior Jones, Wayne McCullough, Kevin Kelley, Paulie Ayala, Guty Espadas, Manny Pacquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera.

He is largely remembered for his classic trilogy against countryman and fellow Hall of Famer Marco Antonio Barrera between 2000 and 2004. The first and third fights were selected as "Fight of the Year" by The Ring Magazine.

Morales retired in 2012 with a record of 52-9-0 (36 KOs).

Morales currently lives in his native Tijuana where he serves a Mexican congressman from the state of Baja California.
