Freshman looks to compete in the 2020 Summer Olympics

Marc Castro is a Fresno State kinesiology major with a secret. But he doesn’t hide it.

Aside from being a student, Castro is an internationally-known boxer, with world championship titles to prove it.

“My biggest accomplishments [are] winning the junior world championships in 2015, which is the best 15-16-year-olds in the world, and then 2016, winning the youth world championships, the best 17-18-year-olds in the world,” Castro said. “So I’m the second American to ever have back-to-back junior and youth world championships.”

The 18-year-old boxer has traveled around the world to destinations such as Saint Petersburg, Russia, winning gold medals, all while balancing life as a student.
