Football Alum Travis Shelton Assists in World Boxing Championship Victory

PHILADELPHIA - As the crowd of cameras and media personnel gathered around the stage in the Liacouras Center lobby, former Temple Football wide receiver Travis Shelton stood off to the side, watching his friend and fellow gym mate, Jeison Rosario, take questions about his upcoming fight. Shelton helped train Roasrio in preparation for the biggest fight of his career to date. Rosario was set to fight West Philadelphia native Julian Williams for the unified middleweight titles and all eyes were on the champ and the challenger. Although this was a very important and special weekend for Rosario, it was also a homecoming for Shelton, who hadn't been back on campus in five or six years.
