Rico Curtis, 24, a Douglas native, making a name for himself in the boxing world. Curtis is 9-0 with eight knockouts in his three-year career. His most recent win came Saturday, a knockout 10 seconds into the second round.

Curtis was born in Douglas and attended the Coffee County School System until he was in the 10th grade. He ultimately graduated from Atkinson County High School. These days, Curtis is pursuing boxing full time and trains out of the Haygood Boxing Center in Columbus. When he isn’t training, he does a little side work at Curtis Heating & Cooling. His wins include the 2024 Georgia Golden Gloves in Stonecrest on April 7 of this year. Curtis’s next bout is May 4 in Marietta.

A hard worker who is dedicated to his craft, Curtis has some big goals. “I want to win nationals, turn pro shortly afterwards, and motivate and inspire others in the community to start boxing and stop gun violence,” he says.

While his goals are indeed lofty, Curtis is confident in his ability to make his dreams come true. “There’s a lot more to come,” he says.
