IN SHORT

From scrawny video game player to Hong Kong’s first professional boxer, Rex Tso is living proof that it’s possible to overcome limitations and apply yourself to make dreams come true. Boxing taught Rex that goals can be achieved through hard work and perseverance and that it’s important to use your particular skills to your advantage. Happy to have been given this chance, Rex sees the importance of what he’s accomplished so far in inspiring younger Hongkongers. “It’s a valuable message: If I can do it, others can too. If they put in the hard work, they can achieve excellence.”
