Former Boxer Dewey Bozella to Speak at the Symposium

(May 5, 2021) - Former boxer and Arthur Ashe Courage Award winner Dewey Bozella will share his inspiring story with attendees at the Specialized Transportation Symposium, June 22-24 in Birmingham, Ala. Sentenced to 20 years to life in Sing Sing Prison for a murder he did not commit, he was offered more than four separate chances for early release—on the condition that he admit guilt and show remorse. Bozella consistently refused. Anger at his imprisonment gave way to determination, and instead of becoming embittered, he became a model prisoner, earning his GED, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. During the summer of 2014, he launched CHAMPS Camp, a product of the Dewey Bozella Foundation, aimed at educating at-risk youth with lessons that can be utilized both inside and outside of the ring. Bozella’s story will inspire you to move beyond your fear, your anger, or anything else that keeps you from reaching your potential. To register for the Symposium, click here.
