Tacoma's 1972 Olympic champion 'Sugar' Ray Seales living in men's shelter due to high rent prices
“Sugar” Ray Seales still carries a piece of history in his pocket: a gold medal from the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany. He’s the only U.S. boxer who can make that claim.
“I feel I’d done something that the Lord had blessed me with,” he remembers. “Not only that, my mother was there, and they sent my dad from the Virgin Islands, so now, it was a family heirloom together.”
Seales moved to Tacoma when he was 12 years old from the U.S. Virgin Islands, and says he was proud to bring this victory back to his adopted home.
“I won it for Tacoma, Washington!” he declared.
