A recent feature in The Pasadena Citizen tells the story of Maurice 'Termite' Watkins,' who grew up in the pest control industry and became a professional boxer.
Watkins, who grew up in the pest control industry (his dad owned Houston-based Champions Exterminating), fought for the WBC 140-pound title on the undercard of the Muhammad Ali-Larry Holmes bout.
