Team Tucker

Beyond the Ring | Since hanging up his gloves, Tucker has become a highly respected coach in both boxing and bare-knuckle fighting. In 2022, he was awarded Boxing Coach of the Year, and in 2023, became a certified USA Boxing coach. Tucker is now the owner and head coach of Team Tucker Boxing & Fitness (established in 2020) in Wyoming County, West Virginia, where he trains athletes in USA Boxing (Olympic style), Amateur, and Professional boxing. His reputation and skill set have also earned him a place in the world of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), where he has served as first corner for multiple BKFC fighters, preparing athletes for one of the toughest combat sports on the planet.

Tucker has inadvertently earned a nickname in the fight community: “Blue Corner Bandit.” He earned this nickname the hard way, by showing up to events, finding fighters in the blue corner with no corner coach, and stepping in to lead them. More often than not, Tucker has coached fighters to unexpected wins and major upsets, turning underdogs into victors and sending shockwaves through the venue. If you’re in the blue corner with no backup, Tucker’s the guy you want in your corner.

Fighting, Family, and the Outdoors | Outside the ring, Tucker is a proud family man with 10 children and 8 grandchildren. When he's not in the gym, he loves spending time at his camp in Greenbrier County, West Virginia, where you'll find him hunting, fishing, and sitting around the campfire with family and friends. But even at camp, Tucker’s heart never leaves the fight. Many mornings, rain, snow, sleet, or shine, his wife finds him shadowboxing in the fog-covered fields, long before the sun comes up. Because for Tucker, life has always been about family and fighting. It’s not just a career; it’s who he is. He eats, sleeps, and breathes both.
