K E L LY
I’m Joe Kelly, co-founder of
TumbleClean.com, a laundry/dry-
cleaning delivery service.
Why did you join Fight for Charity?
To raise money for a great cause and enjoy the challenge of a boxing event. Also, because a friend
had joined and I saw this as a great opportunity to fight him without the threat of incarceration.
Unfortunately, I was matched with someone else. I’d like to make public that the fight should in
no way reflect any truly violent nature of my own and some primary concerns include, and are
not limited to: puking before the fight begins, permanent disfiguration, forgetting my mouth guard,
getting hit in the southern regions and losing the general ability to focus post-fight. It’s been a
pleasure training with all the fighters tonight and seeing such massive improvement among the
whole group. I wish everyone well and that the audience gets a great show!
What is your biggest accomplishment?
Gaining more awareness.
What would people be most surprised to learn about you?
I have an uncanny ability to drink a full water bottle in 2.2 seconds.
What is your history with boxing?
Only what we’ve learned leading up to this event.
Once my fight is done, I’d like:
To sign off on my ambulance ride.
