Boxing Legacy Meets Guatemalan Roots: Timothy Bradley's Daughter Joins Sub-17 Squad

By Drafted Team

Boxing

World champion and Boxing Hall of Famer Timothy Bradley made a trip to Guatemala — not for a fight, but for family. His daughter Jada has begun training with the Sub-17 national team, driven by a desire to honor her Guatemalan heritage.

Sometimes the most meaningful journeys a champion takes happen outside the ring. Timothy Bradley — former world champion and Boxing Hall of Famer — recently traveled to Guatemala, drawn there by something far more personal than any title bout: his daughter Jada has begun training with the country's Sub-17 national boxing team at the CAR facility in Zona 15.

For Jada, the decision is rooted in identity. She is pursuing the opportunity to represent the Guatemalan roots of her mother and grandparents, carrying a heritage that runs deep on one side of her family.

The visit marks a quietly powerful moment — a boxing legend watching the next generation of his family step into the sport, this time wearing Guatemalan colors. Jada's path is just beginning, but the foundation behind it is anything but ordinary.

Whether she goes on to compete for Guatemala at the international level remains to be seen, but her presence in the Sub-17 program signals that the Bradley family's connection to the sport — and to Guatemala — is only growing.
