Meet the Boxing Priest

Monday, 30 June 2014 | by Pat's Picks

64-year-old Rev. Jose Antonio Rubio, a Roman Catholic priest in Northern California, is an art collector and opera lover. He’s also a boxer. He took up the sport after undergoing prostate cancer surgery six years ago. The San Jose Mercury News says his diocese and the pastor of his church are o.k. with his boxing, but they’re not about to start a priestly boxing team any time soon.
